Anna Gasser Tops Snowboarding Big Air Qualifying at Olympics 2018
Anna Gasser performed well enough to qualify with her first run. But instead of phoning her second run in, Gasser threw together a near-perfect run to take a lead into the final runs of the big air event at the 2018 Winter Games on Sunday (U.S. time) in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Gasser's second run earned her a score of 98.00, giving her an advantage over the Japanese pair of Yuka Fujimori and Reira Iwabuchi. The winner of the big air event at the 2017 World Championships and 2018 X Games, Gasser picked up right back up where she left off. She put together a solid 88.25 on her first run, looking seemingly nonchalant before breaking out with a stellar second run.
