Jenny Jones wins bronze in women's slope style

Great Britains first ever Olympic medal on snow !!!

well done Jenny Jones!!!!!! got a bronze in the women's slopestyle such a wonderful moment just now when Jenny was being interviewed for the bbc and she said "I know my parents are here now but I haven't found them yet". Matthew Pinsent who was doing the interview for the bbc said "you don't need to go and find them, we've got them here"

Jenny's mum then ran into shot and gave jenny a hug and both of them promptly burst into tears

Awwww .
Watched it this morning and Jenny had to endure an agonising wait as one by one a group of rival competitors did their utmost to get in the medals. She seemed to holding her board tighter and tighter as time went on but the wait was worth it. With all the youngsters that seem to be the dominant presence in such sports its nice to see a 33 year old get in amongst it and win a medal .
Well done to her .
