Well, that was wild!
Lets get to it!
Sandra Eie laced a dub cork 10 safety with classic Norwegian style.
This set the benchmark.
Megan Oldham came out with a triple cork 14, a worlds first, attempt.
Grabbing high mute and super styled but she wheelied out of the landing and couldn’t hold on.
Mathilde threw a clean dub cork 10 but wasn’t scored highly for it.
Olivia Asselin dropped in switch but didn’t like the takeoff and bailed early on the rotation.
Megan’s triple attempt was closer this time, the stomp felt inevitable at this point.
Muir and Gremaud sat in 2nd and 3rd with Megan looking very dangerous.
This earned her 44 and left her 3 points behind Tess.
The takeoff and set were perfect, her mute right on the tip of the ski almost at nose.
She stomped it, a world first for women, ever.
The judges awarded this appropriately with 50.
Sandra Eie’s dub 12 lead blunt was flawless and earned 41.
Olivia Asselin perhaps hurt from the previous run stomped a Rodeo 5 Japan, huge, effortless and classic.
Sarah turned her high mute into a high dub mute, looking so stylish.
Tess Ledeux took a nasty slam, not looking right straight from the takeoff, but skied away.
The pressure was building for an epic final run.
She would collect her poles and then have to watch from the bottom.
Leaving Megan in first, Tess in second and Kiststy in third.
