Just 24 hours after winning the first slopestyle contest of the Cardona Games, Woods was at it again as he came out on top in a tight contest against a strong international field.

After a solid first run the 2014 Winter Olympian sealed the win on his second run with a double 1260 and his unique Octo Grab.

"It's been a big two days of competition and I'm really proud to have won on both days," he said.

"It's a big test to make two finals and to land two runs. Respect to all the competitors, everyone killed it."

There were also strong performances from team-mates Tyler Harding and Felix Klein, who took seventh and eighth respectively in the finals. Sportsbeat 2016
