Spirited Aussies fall short of snowboard cross semis
Published Thu 10 Feb 2022
Cameron Bolton, Jarryd Hughes, Adam Lambert and Adam Dickson are all thinking what could have been following their participation in the men's snowboard cross at the Zhangjiakou Genting Snow Park.
Despite a gallant effort from each athlete, unfortunately they didn't achieve the success they wanted.
Cameron was the best-performing Aussie, making it to the quarter-finals before being eliminated there in the knockout format. Jarryd, Adam Lambert and Adam Dickson did not progress beyond the 1/8 finals.
Missing out on a podium chance was difficult for him to process and knows his teammates will be feeling flat with their results.
"I think it's the nature of the sport," Cameron said.
"I can tell you that there will be four boys after today that are bitterly disappointed with the result.
"I didn't see the other guys runs but I know they're capable of much stronger results on the day and have shown that this season and the last couple of seasons.
"Hopefully there will be a bit of redemption on Saturday in the mixed team event."
