Zoe Gillings-Brier has taken a creditable 5th place at the European Cup in Austria.

She's now gearing up for the first World Cup of the 2015/16 season on December 9.

After finishing 9th at the Sochi 2015 Olympic Games, Zoe took time out this year to focus on training. She's happy with her fifth place from a field of more than 70 competitors, stating: 'I wasn’t expecting to finish in the top 10 this early on in the season so I’m over the moon.'
