The Women’s Finals
Olivia Asselin starting things off after impressing in her heat, back swapping over the chained gap between the Jersey barriers. She then relentlessly made her way from feature to feature dropping hammers on each – second run she greased a 270 on continuing front 270 off the down bar with enough drip to flood a basement.
The perennially injured Bella Bacon was back shredding, trying to disaster transfer 450 onto the street rail. She never fully locked in but got very close on a couple of gnarly attempts.
Marion Balsamo, who had qualified through the street style series of contests, proved that she belonged with plenty of front swaps and a clean front 270 off the double kink rail.
Eileen Gu struggled and crashed a few times, once scarily falling off the high wallride feature. This did not put Bella Bacon off though, who hiked up a little further to get enough speed and laced a back 450 off the top of the wallride.
In the end, Olivia was head and shoulders above the rest of the women, barely hitting any feature twice. She was offered a victory lap and did the best trick of the day, a K-Fed over the Jersey barrier gap. A well deserved win.
The final podium: Olivia Asselin in first place, Bella Bacon in second place and Marion Balsamo in third.
