It took a last-minute injunction- and then two nail biter races - for
Brenna Huckaby to medal in the 2022 Beijing Paralympic Winter
Games. Huckaby won bronze in snowboard cross on Monday, after
surviving a crash in the medal race and a come-from-behind,
games-saving second place in the semifinal race.
She finished third after colliding with Dutch rider Lisa Bunschoten, who
screamed in frustration after the crash forced her off the course. All
Huckaby had to do was finish to win a place on the podium.
The preceding race was no less dramatic. Huckaby was riding in last
place after struggling to get over an early obstacle. She was so far
behind, the camera operators failed to follow her. And as Bunschoten
crossed the line first in that race, Huckaby snuck in behind her - racing
down the last straightaway ahead of the other two riders.
