Beijing hosts the latest Halfpipe World Cups, while Lillehammer and Idre Fjall play host to Nordic and Moguls contests

Halfpipe World Cups, Secret Garden, China

Zoe Atkin, Liam Richards, and Siddhartha Ullah represent Britain’s latest World Cup interest in China as Secret Garden plays hosts to the latest of the season’s Halfpipe World Cup contests. In a midweek start, the Women’s Freeski Halfpipe qualifiers were postponed due to bad weather, with qualification and Finals now set for the weekend. Conditions held off long enough to permit the Men’s Freeski contest to get underway, where Richards skied brilliantly but just missed out on qualification for the weekend’s Finals.

In the Snowboard Halfpipe contest, Siddhartha Ullah is set for his first World Cup of the season and only the seventh of his career, with qualifiers set for early Friday morning.
