The Burton U·S·Open Women’s Halfpipe Finals witnessed Maddie Mastro make history with a string of historical firsts. She won her first Open title (and first career win at that) with a run that included the first ever double crippler landed by a woman in competition.
Defending champ Chloe Kim in 2nd with Xuetong Cai in 3rd. Let it be known – women’s halfpipe riding is at an incredible level right now.
Maddie took the win with a score of 84.74 with a run that went like this: a huge backside air, into a frontside 540 stalefish, backside 540 stalefish, a massive frontside 720 Indy, to a Haakon flip stalefish, into her historic double crippler Indy and still managed to finish with a backside air.
Mastro said, “I’m just fully overwhelmed! This is my first contest win, and for it to be at the U·S·OPEN is this incredible amazing feeling. This trick is something I want to be doing consistently and make progression a norm for women’s snowboarding.”
