The queen of snowboard’s Big Air Anna Gasser left no doubt she still reigns over the sport on Saturday (11 January), taking a dominant win at the FIS World Cup in Kreischberg, Austria.

The People’s Republic of China’s Yang Wenlong captured the men’s title.

Gasser, who claimed back-to-back Olympic titles in PyeongChang 2018 and Beijing 2022, laid down a Cab Triple 12 for a 93.00 score in her opening round. That gave her a nearly 13-point lead over second-place Iwabuchi Reira of Japan.

She followed up her impressive opening run with a Back Double Ten and 74.75. Her 167.75 after two runs was the top score.

By the time Gasser was set for her third and final run, she was guaranteed the victory in Kreischberg. It was her 10th Big Air World Cup win and 20th trip to the podium.

“This one is very special. I am very happy. The level of the girls is just so great right now,” Gasser said afterward. “To still be able to keep up with my younger competitors, it’s such a great time for me, and just relieved, happy. It’s kind of proof that it was right to keep on going, that I’m still on the right path.”

Iwabuchi held on to her second place from the opening run for silver, while Team GB’s Mia Brooks rounded out the podium.

In the men’s final, Japan’s Hasegawa Taiga had a nearly seven-point lead over Yang going into the final round.

Yang responded by laying down a backside 1980 Japan grab to earn a staggering 96.50, the highest score of the competition.

That erased Hasegawa’s chance at a victory lap; instead, the Japanese had to go for broke but did not improve his score.

He settled for the silver medal, with compatriot Kimura Kira taking third.

China's Su Yiming, the reigning Olympic champion, finished in ninth. His best score of the day was a 72.00 in the opening run.
