Gillings fifth in Canada

Manx snowboardcrosser Zoe Gillings has finished fifth at the latest World Cup round in Canada.

The 26-year-old from Ronague produced the 7th best qualifying time to safely make the top 24 at the Blue Mountain course.

Zoe then came second in her quarter-final and third in the semi-final to make her second consecutive final in the World Cup series.

She was involved in a crash with a French competitor in the final which ruled her out of challenging for a podium position, or better.

Gillings is up to fifth in the overall World Cup standings.
