Beijing 2022: Tess Arbez 42nd in women's Super-G

Tess Arbez finished 42nd overall in the Super-G at the Beijing Winter Games on Friday morning, as she made history by becoming the first female athlete to compete for Ireland in a speed skiing event.

Arbez crashed out in her first outing in the women's giant slalom event on Monday but she had a clean run today, raising her arms in delight at the finish line.

On Wednesday she took 48th in the slalom in an icy event that saw 30 athletes marked as DNF.

Meanwhile Thomas Maloney Westgaard produced an excellent performance in the 15km Cross Country, which is ongoing.

He clocked 40:01.5 - a time that briefly had him top of the leaderboard. A staggered start means Maloney Westgaard must wait to discover his final standing.
