Zoe Gillings not put off by Maria Komissarova injury

By , Reporter
Great Britain snowboarder Zoe Gillings reveals that she is not put off from competing in her event in the future despite seeing Maria Komissarova suffer a serious injury.

Great Britain snowboarder Zoe Gillings has admitted that the injury sustained by Russia's Maria Komissarova will not stop her from competing in the future.

Komissarova was forced to undergo an operation for a broken back after injuring herself during practice at the PSX Olympic skicross venue at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park.

Gillings told The Express: "I don't know her personally but we are doing pretty much exactly the same course as the skiers.

"It doesn't make me want to stop. As long as it's an injury I can recover from then I'll keep going."

The 28-year-old missed out on reaching the snowboard cross final at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
