Moguls team ready to make magic after giving Olympic course tick of approval
Published Mon 31 Jan 2022
Australia's eight-strong mogul team got their first taste of the Beijing Olympic venue, taking to the 250-metre Genting Snow Park course for their first training run in frigid and snowy conditions.
While temperatures dropped below minus 10 and heavy snow blanketed the mountain, the athletes made the most of their first opportunity to ski the Olympic course.
Brodie Summers, competing at his third Games, said he had a great time at the first Olympic training session.
"All of us are so excited, inspecting the course everyone just had a huge grin from ear to ear," Brodie said.
"The course is fast, it's tight, but super fun. The jumps have all been made really nicely and the moguls are shaped beautifully.
"A bit of fresh snow on the first day is absolutely perfect after a fresh course build just to smooth out the moguls a little bit, I think we're on for a pretty good week."
