French snowboarder Lucile Lefevre took “Eye of the Tiger” to another level on Monday in the Big Air event.

After sustaining an injury in last week's slopestyle competition, Lefevre said she still wanted to compete in the Big Air before retiring from the sport.

Despite not being able to complete tricks due to the injury, in the end, Lefevre showed that she had earned her stripes

On her first jump off the 155-foot ramp, Lefevre waved to the cameras while wearing her standard French jacket. But she broke out the tiger onesie for her second jump, pawing at the crowd.
