Australian snowboarder Tess Coady has won Australia's first medal of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, claiming bronze in the women's slopestyle.

Coady, 21, recorded her best score of 84.15 points in the third and final run of Sunday's final.

It was the 16th medal won by Australia at a Winter Olympics and the fifth in a snowboarding discipline.

Coady was selected to make her Games debut four years ago in PyeongChang, but was unable to compete after tearing her ACL in a practice run.

Sydney-born Zoi Sadowski-Synnott claimed New Zealand's first-ever Winter Games gold medal on Sunday with a score of 92.88 and American Julia Marino (87.68) pocketed the silver.

Two-time defending champion Jamie Anderson from the United States was ninth.
