Perhaps the best women’s competition period,” Swiss skier Mathilde Gremaud took home the gold medal in the 2019 women’s ski big air event. The 2018 Winter Olympic slopestyle silver medalist stomped a witch left side double cork 1080 and right side rodeo japan 900, totaling a score of 83.00 and earning her the gold.
Without exaggeration that was the single best women’s ski competition in @xgames history. Perhaps the best women’s competition period. Congratulations @GremaudMathilde a well deserved ????
