Snowboarding: Katie Ormerod "stoked" to be back on snow
- Published
British snowboarder Katie Ormerod is "stoked" to be back on a snowboard, 11 months after fracturing her heel.
The 21-year-old said she had "no pain" during training runs at the indoor snow dome in Castleford on Tuesday.
The X-Games and multiple World Cup medallist suffered the injury three days before she was due to compete at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games.
"Straight away I knew my Olympics was over. Pyeongchang just wasn't meant to be," she said.
The Yorkshire-born boarder has had seven operations to overcome the potentially career-ending injury.
"I am really excited to be back," Ormerod told BBC Sport in November.
"There is no way I could stop snowboarding and stop pushing myself because it is built in me.
"I want to challenge women's snowboarding and keep progressing."
