Sadowski-Synnot stoked, proud with second medal at Olympics

From Checkpoint, 6:06 pm on 15 February 2022

Snowboarder Zoi Sadowski-Synnott has made history once again becoming our first athlete to win multiple medals at a Winter Olympics.

She secured silver in the big air competition this afternoon, adding to the gold she won in the women's slopestyle last week and a bronze she won in PyeongChang in 2018 when she was just 16.

"I'm super stoked and can't really believe it," Sadowski-Synnott told Checkpoint.

"Winning two medals in one games, but I had a pretty sick team behind me and couldn't have done it without them.

"It means a lot to me - growing up snowboarding and dreaming of going to the Olympics, and now walking away with two medals. I'm just so happy and proud of where my snowboarding has gone and yeah, hope I made my family proud.

"I just told myself to take care of the snowboarding first and let the performance and snowboarding speak for itself. And then whatever result I got just as long as I was stoked with how I was riding, I'd be happy."
