Team GB's Jenny Jones feels young at heart

Team GB's Olympic medallist Jenny Jones says that she does not feel like "an old lady".

British snowboarder Jenny Jones has insisted that she does not feel like "an old lady" despite her age.

The 33-year-old became the first Briton to win an Olympic medal in a snow event when she finished third in the inaugural women's slopestyle at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi on Sunday.

"I don't feel like an old lady, these girls are a lovely bunch and they keep me young and allow me out late to party every now and then," she told TEAMGB.com.

"I just can't believe I've had this opportunity, there was only a slim chance slopestyle would be included here and I wanted so much just to be an Olympian, everything else was a bonus.

"I used to focus on the X Games and that was my goal but this feels extra special. I'm feel very proud to have won a bronze medal for my country, I can't believe it's our first on snow. It all feels very surreal."

Jamie Anderson of the USA won gold in the event, while Finland's Enni Rukajarvi clinched silver.
