Barnes-Miller takes bronze in Steamboat

Para Snowboarder scores first World Cup podium of season

James Barnes-Miller took his first World Cup podium of the season with bronze at the Steamboat Para Snowboard Snowboard Cross World Cup this evening.

In a strong Men’s Upper Limb classification line-up, Barnes-Miller’s third-place finish came behind Jacopo Luchini of Italy in first and Switzerland’s Aron Fahmi in second.

Barnes-Miller, who will be aiming to compete at his third Paralympic Winter Games in Milan-Cortina next year, finished fifth in the first of the Steamboat contests, with tonight’s result standing him in good stead ahead of the Para Snowboard World Championships, which are set to get underway in Big White, Canada, on 4 March
