HE might be tearing up the slopes across the other side of the world.

But that hasn't stopped family, friends and fans in Southampton revelling in snowboarder Billy Morgan's success.

The Shirley snowboarder won big air bronze to claim a record fifth British Winter Olympics medal of the Games.

The Olympian squeezed into the final and was the second of 12 qualifiers to take to the ramp, but as his rivals failed to land their efforts, his podium chances improved.

He scored 168.00 for his two best jumps - 82.50 and 85.50 - after not scoring with the first, and Morgan was third with only Canada's Max Parrot able to overtake him.
