No Canadians made it to the podium at Saturday night’s FIS World Cup Big Air Snowboard event at Commonwealth Stadium. But the night saw some snowboarding history being made.
New Zealand’s Zoi Sadowski-Synnott struck gold in the women's event, while Japan’s Taiga Hasegawa won the men's final.
Sadowski-Synnott earned her gold by acing a jump that, before this weekend, had never been tried before in women’s snowboarding.
She stunned many of her fellow riders when she nailed a switchback 1260 and got a whopping 99 out of 100 in qualifying. She tried it with her first jump in the finals, but fell.
She tried it again with jump No. 2, got a 97.25 score, and never looked back.
“That trick hasn’t been done in competition before, so I didn’t really know what to expect," said Sadowski-Synnott, who took silver at the 2022 Winter Olympics Big Air competition. “I’m super-hyped on the score.”
But, after missing that first jump, she knew the pressure was on. Two of the three jumps count toward the final score, so she left herself no margin for error.
