    Snowboarder Zoi Sadowski-Synnott's refusing to let favouritism overwhelm her at the Winter Olympics

    Snowboarder Zoi Sadowski-Synnott's refusing to let favouritism overwhelm her at the Winter Olympics


    The 2018 big air bronze medalist will go into that event and the slopestyle as a front-runner after taking gold in both disciplines at the Aspen X-Games.

    The Associated Press has predicted she will secure silver in those events, but Sadowski-Synnott's non-committal on results.



    Slopestyle qualifying is on Saturday.

    AP also predicts Nico Porteous will win gold in the freeski halfpipe.
