The following day, Saturday 16th February, Dom added a bronze to his already impressive medal collection in the second Europa Cup Halfpipe event of the weekend. Fellow team mates Sam Cullum, Jack Shackelton and Kate Foster were also on top form and each achieved a top ten placing, which is an amazing result as the competition line up included over 60 of the World’s top snowboarders.
