Bronze Finish For O’Dine And Bergermann In Turkey
Canada’s Meryeta O’Dine (Prince George, BC) and Zoe Bergermann (Erin, ON) took home the bronze medal Sunday during the team Snowboardcross World Cup event in Erzurum, Turkey. The pair took the third spot behind the French team of Nelly Moenne Loccoz & Chloe Trespeuch and the Czech team of Vendula Hopjakova and Eva Samkova. This is O’Dine and Bergermann’s second team event medal after the pair captured silver at last month’s Team SBX World Cup in Montafon, AUT.
