Scotty James finished in the yellow bib on first for this season’s leaderboard for FIS World Cup Halfpipe after winning gold in Pyeongchang this weekend. This also secures him the Crystal Globe.
Belle Brockhoff still holds the yellow bib for this season for SBX and Alex Chumpy Pullin currently sits 4th in the men’s with three more WC comps ahead.
Danielle Scott has also had a stellar run with the yellow bib earlier in the season for women’s aerials. She now sits at number two on the leaderboard with two more aerial events to go. This makes her a true contender for the aerials Crystal Globe.
But wait, we also have the FIS World Cup Championships in Sierra Nevada in March when our athletes will compete in Moguls, Aerials, Halfpipe, SBX and Ski X.
