Derungs claims first ever slopestyle World Cup win

The 31-year-old took the opportunity to capitalise on the absence of a number of other competitors, participating elsewhere at the X-Games in the United States, with the win at Seiser Alm.

Derungs prevailed with a score of 79.15, ahead of Canada’s Brooke Voigt on 76.00 and Jasmine Baird on 73.25.

In the men’s event, Norway’s Markus Olimstad topped the podium with a score of 88.00, just ahead of USA’s Lyon Farrell on 87.20.

Olimstad’s fellow Norwegian Stian Kleivdal took third with 84.75, while Ryan Stassel finished fourth – Olimstad is now up to fifth in the overall World Cup rankings.
