Zoi Sadowski-Synnott on Olympic trifecta

From Morning Report, 7:28 am on 16 February 2022

Snowboarder Zoi Sadowski-Synnott has carved a place in the New Zealand sporting record books after her spectacular silver medal performance in the Big Air event at the Beijing Winter Olympics.

At age 20, she's become the youngest New Zealander to win all three shades of Olympic medal - and the first to achieve it at the Winter Games.

She won a bronze four years ago and then made history last week by securing a Slopestyle gold.

She told Corin Dann there was a tinge of disappointment she couldn't repeat that triumph on Tuesday.

She missed out narrowly to Austrian defending champion Anna Gasser.
