Great Britain’s Kirsty Muir claimed a third World Cup victory of her career by winning the Freeski Slopestyle event at the US Grand Prix in Aspen on Friday.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 21-year-old finished first in qualifying before winning gold with a score of 80.62 achieved on her first run of the final in Colorado a little over a month after breaking her thumb.<\/p>\n
It is the Scot’s seventh career World Cup podium finish and her second victory of the 2025-26 season, after she took gold at the Big Air World Cup at the Secret Garden in Zhangjiakou, China, in November.<\/p>\n
“I’m just very stoked, stoked with how I’m skiing,” said Muir.<\/p>\n
“Conditions were slightly tough today, so we just managed to get through it. I’m just really enjoying myself, enjoying how I’m skiing at the moment, so everything’s really good.”<\/p>\n
Canadians Megan Oldham and Elena Gaskell finished second and third in the final with scores of 73.02 and 72.90 respectively. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
