Slopestyle
This has to be one of the closest finals in Winter X Games History with the top three separated by 0.66 points! It seems that Kaya Turski’s first run, giving her a score of 93.66, was enough to hold onto the win through the other two rounds and claim Kaya her second, consecutive Winter X Games gold.
Keri Herman took second by 0.33 points.
And in third was Grete Eliassen with 93.00. You can see her in our recent posts from ColdAsIce.tv
Final results are:
1. Kaya Turski – CAN – 93.66
2. Keri Herman – USA – 93.33
3. Grete Eliassen – USA – 93.00
4. Ashley Battersby – USA – 92.00
5. Kim Lamarre – CAN – 91.33
6. Jessica Warll – CAN – 90.66
