Bristol mayor plans snowy celebration for Jenny Jones

Sochi Winter Olympic medallist Jenny Jones should be welcomed back to her home city of Bristol with a "snowy and spectacular" celebration, its mayor has said.

George Ferguson, who became the city's first elected mayor in 2012, said he had his heart in his mouth watching Jones achieve what was Team GB's first snow-based medal in a winter Games in the women's snowboard slopestyle:

We have got to do something really good to celebrate this. What I'm going to do is see if we can find someone who can sponsor something snowy and spectacular in Bristol.

It will be better than doing an open bus tour, although I'm sure we can do that.
