After finishing fourth in his 1/8 final Huw said: “It was not what I had planned, but sometimes it goes well and sometimes it goes not so well. I was too far off the pack, they were drafting each other and I just couldn’t get behind them.
“The course is brilliant. Compared to all the races this season, it’s the best course we’ve had so far. Probably a couple of the biggest jumps but it’s all fine.
“Hopefully for the next Games, I’ll go and I’ve already got one under my belt so I can prepare myself a lot better for the next one.
