Australian Daisy Thomas stretchered off in practice session

“I’m strong enough, I’m capable enough, and I’ve got my tricks back, so I’m able to do it and I don’t really notice it at all. The goal still remains the same – I’d love to get an Olympic medal.”

Thomas was asked about the Olympic course at that conference, and said it was big and funky, but also had standard jumps mixed in.

“That gives us a lot of opportunity for a lot of different tricks. All the features are really trickable, which is super refreshing,” she said.

“When you get an Olympic course, the rails are a lot higher out the ground, and a lot longer as well. Some of the rails are taller than me (165 centimetres), but it’s super fun. That relationship with fear is the reason a lot of us do this sport.”
