A four-time Olympian from the Isle of Man is hoping more Manx athletes can get involved in snowboarding.

Zoe Gillings-Brier plays a key role at Inspire Snowsports - a snowboarding and skiing school based in Austria.

The Douglas-born athlete - who's also a seven-time snowboarding world cup medallist - says they have classes to cater for those at both junior and senior level.

Speaking to Manx Radio, Zoe explains how it would feel to see more Island competitors following in her footsteps to succeed in future.
