Jenny Jones admits she never dreamed of winning an Olympic medal when she took up snowboarding while working as a chalet girl.

Team GB slopestyle snowboarder Jenny Jones has joked that she is happy to be a pub quiz answer after becoming the first Briton in history to claim a snow sport medal at Sochi 2014.

Jones's efforts in Sunday's final have led to a day of celebration in the Great Britain camp, with the 33-year-old, who won the bronze medal at the event, admitting that she never thought that she would achieve what she has.

She told TeamGB.com: "It's still sinking in - the history part of what I have done. Hopefully I'll be in a few pub quizzes now.

"I never thought that I'd be in this position when I was a chalet maid. I was cooking breakfasts and cleaning toilets and just snowboarding every day and having fun. At the beginning it was just about snowboarding and enjoying your sport.

"The last few hours has been full of lots of emotions. Walking out on the podium was a fantastic experience."

Jones also stated that she hopes to provide inspiration for her Team GB teammates to go on and have a successful 2014 Winter Olympic Games.
