BEIJING (Reuters) -Austrian snowboarder Anna Gasser won Big Air gold at the Beijing Olympics on Tuesday.
New Zealand’s Zoi Sadowski-Synnott won silver while Kokomo Murase of Japan took bronze.
The 30-year-old Gasser, who took gold in the inaugural Big Air competition in 2018 at Pyeongchang, launched a perfect cab double cork 1260 in her last run, which gave her 95.50, the single best score in the competition.
She scored a combined 185.50 from her two best runs.
Sadowski-Synnott had a combined total of 177.00 while Murase, in her first Olympics, had 171.50.
