Megan Oldham
The first triple cork in a women’s ski or snowboard contest was landed tonight in X Games Aspen Women’s Ski Big Air: 21-year-old Megan Oldham (CAN) stomped a leftside triple cork 1440 to earn a perfect score of 50. Big Air is the best of two scores combined, and Megan added a rightside double cork 1260, which tallied a 41. The combined 91 was enough for gold. No woman skier ever had landed a triple to snow before tonight in either a contest or practice. And while three women snowboarders have landed triple underflips in practices around the world, none have been landed in a contest. A huge moment in action sports.
