Watch Anna Gasser become first woman to land triple cork

Anna Gasser became the first female snowboarder to land a triple cork in an Instagram video posted Monday, according to the International Ski Federation.

“It’s a trick with consequences, and you really have to put everything on the line if you want to succeed,” Gasser said, according to Red Bull, adding that she did it on her first attempt of the day. “You can easily overrotate on the third flip which makes landing safely impossible. Today it just felt right, and I am happy I ticked that one off my list – it doesn’t feel like such a big thing, but I guess it’s another milestone in women’s snowboarding!
