Snowboarder's Sister Slams Social Media Post
16 Feb
Summary
- Scotty James' sister criticized a social media post about him.
- The post, from a show's archived Instagram, used a quote from James.
- James won silver at his fifth Olympics, making history for Australia.

Rebecca James, sister of Australian snowboard champion Scotty James, has voiced strong disapproval of a social media post concerning her brother. The post, shared from the archived Instagram account of a recently axed television program, featured a photo of Scotty and a quote attributed to him. Rebecca James initially took to the comments section to express her anger, describing the post as 'terrible' and 'disappointing.'
She stated that it was unclear the post was quoting her brother, a sentiment echoed by several online commenters who also found the post poorly contextualized. Scotty James, competing in his fifth Olympics, secured a silver medal in the men's halfpipe final. He was narrowly beaten by Japan's Totsuka Yuto. This achievement marks a historic moment for James, as he is the first Australian athlete to win three Olympic medals, previously earning a bronze in PyeongChang and a silver in Beijing.
