Freeskiier­s Jackson and BeauJames Wells will join older brother Byron in New Zealand’s team for next month’s Winter Olympics in PyeongChan­g. Jossi, the eldest of the four Wells brothers, this week withdrew from the team due to a knee injury, but his three younger brothers will all represent New Zealand in South Korea. Jackson, 19, competes in the freeski slopestyle and Beau-James, 22, in the freeski halfpipe competitio­n. It will be Beau-James’ second Winter Olympics after finishing sixth in halfpipe in Sochi in 2014, while Jackson can look forward to his first Olympic competitio­n after having a minor knee operation last week.
