FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup: Tess Ledeux triumphs as Kirsty Muir bags bronze at Copper Mountain

Tess Ledeux claimed her first FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup gold of the season while Britain’s Kirsty Muir also finished on the podium at Copper Mountain.

The women’s big air had been ruled by Mathilde Gremaud in the opening two events but the Swiss star was beaten by her French counterpart on this occasion.

Ledeux, runner-up in the season opener in Chur, went one better following a score of 189.00, stealing the show on her first run by scoring a competition high 95.75.

Gremaud was second on 185.50 with Muir’s 173.75 enough for bronze, her second top three finish of the campaign following silver in Beijing last time out.

The men’s competition was won by USA’s Mac Forehand, who scored 187.00 to finish two points clear of Italy’s Miro Tabanelli.

Birk Ruud picked up his second bronze of the season in third.
