Britain’s Katie Ormerod has claimed there is more to come from her as the snowboarder continues her recovery from a broken back.

The 19-year-old enjoyed a successful season, securing gold at the International Ski Federation (FIS) Big Air competition in Moscow during January.

It was a third World Cup podium of the season for the Briton, who also enjoyed success at the X Games when she secured bronze in slopestyle in Aspen.

Ormerod has claimed the successes have boosted her confidence with less than a year to go to the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics.

“Winning in Moscow was amazing and then to compete at the X Games and come away with a medal in slopestyle was awesome," she told BBC Sport.

“The Olympics have been my main goal and I believe now is my time to shine.

"The team has been smart this season by getting the Olympic qualification out of the way to take the pressure off.

"I've also been mainly doing tricks I know I can do safely, but there's still a lot more to come from me and there will be bigger and better tricks in Pyeongchang."

Ormerod suffered a setback in March, when the freestyle snowboarder suffered a fractured back in training.

It ruled her out of competing at the Freestyle Ski and Snowboard World Championships in Sierra Nevada, which was taking place in Spain.

"I didn't want to go to hospital as I thought that was a bit overkill but my physio persuaded me to,” Ormerod said.

“I was X-rayed and the doctors gave me the news that I'd broken my back, which was scary.

"It's not something you want to hear but in reality I've just chipped a bit off the L3 verterbra.

“It's stable so it is just a case of resting until it's healed."
