- 20-year-old makes Olympic history in women’s slopestyle
- Julia Marino and Tess Coady win silver and bronze respectively
Zoi Sadowski Synnott has made history by winning New Zealand’s first ever gold medal at a Winter Olympics, capturing the women’s slopestyle title on Sunday morning in smash-and-grab fashion with a dramatic final run that ended the United States’ run of dominance in the discipline.
The 20-year-old, who became Olympic champion on Waitangi Day, put down the run of her life in the biggest competition of her career to overtake the American Julia Marino, who had taken the lead with her second of three attempts.
