The final World Cup of the season went down in Silvaplana, Switzerland this morning.
The three run final with 20+ skiers is a lot of skiing and waiting for the casual viewer.
The team at Corvatsch did a great job with clean rails and a variety of transition options throughout.
The rail section in-particular looked pretty fun, especially with the QP between the top two features.
The US Olympic qualification battle is clearly going to be crazy with 5 US men making the finals today.
She also took home two crystal globes as a result of the win.
Enough for first after run 1 but not enough to overtake Tess' second run.
Mathilde Gremaud- Third -Screwed by weather/course hold run one.
Put it down run two, including a nice bio 9 safety.
Just enough for third, narrowly bumping Katie off the podium.
Katie Summerhayes - Back at the sharp ends of comps, super clean trademark K-Feds.
Cleaned up the jumps for her second run with a 9, to switch 5 japan to cork 7.
Rell harwood - 9 to switch bio 9 to 7 on the jumps.
Switch 2 continuing 4 on the flat rail was sick.
Skipped the QP air on her highest scoring run which probably kept her off the podium.
Kokone Kondo - Misty 5 nose mute, you don’t see many of those in comps or otherwise.
Marin Hamill - Again.
Not particularly tech (5 mute, switch 5 japan) but so so much style.
Even cleaner on the second run, he’s jus unstoppable right now.
Ferdi- Second -Super clean, super smooth.
Both ways switch dub 12 mutes and a dub bio 12.
Front cork 8 on the last rail…
Alex Hall- Third -Flawless on both runs.
Dub 16 breby, switch 2 cont 4 to cont bounce 360 on the last rail.
Perfect but not enough to bump Colby or Ferdi.
Oliwer Magnusson - Super technical run, very clean but not much creativity.
B2b dub 14s and locked grabs.
“Was that a 90!?
Are they kidding?”
Woodsy - Switch 450 on to the first rail was dope.
Triple 14 on the last jump with the whole last cork 3 almost on the ground was insane.
Kim Gubser - Switch triple to flat, back 8 to flat on the last rail.
Mac Forehand - Style.
And lots of it.
Dub 14 blunt to japan was super good on run 1 but couldn’t put together a perfect run.
Evan McEachran - Stomped a rodeo out of the final rail having left one ski on the rail.
Kiernan Fagan - Crashed twice…
Highlights or replay coming soon, technical issues with the stream mean we’re waiting on those.
