A Winter Olympics gold medal remains the only serious prize left for Australian snowboarder Scotty James who defended his halfpipe world championship in Spain on Saturday (Sunday AEDT).
On a night when competitors struggled with the frontside wall of the ‘pipe, James stayed buttery smooth, laying down what appeared to be a winning first run to capture the title.
No one would surpass that total – except James himself with his second run of 97.5 points – his highest score of the season.
“My goal is to land my first run so then I can really just step it up,” said James, who got to treat his third trip down the ‘pipe as a victory lap.
