Megan Nick ended a three-year victory drought for the U.S. women’s aerials program, winning her first World Cup event in Yaroslavl, Russia, on Sunday.
Nick, 24, beat a field that included the last two Olympic champions — Belarusians Alla Tsuper and Hanna Huskova — and the reigning World Cup season champion Laura Peel of Australia.
The last U.S. woman to win an aerials World Cup was Kiley McKinnon in January 2018.
Nick previously finished second in a pair of World Cups last season.
She was joined on the podium Sunday by 17-year-old countrywoman Kaila Kuhn, whose third place was her best-career World Cup finish.
