Anna Gasser: The last big appearance in the Slopestyle of the 2025 World Cup!

Engadin, Schweiz - At the Snowboard World Championships in the picturesque Engadin, Switzerland, Carinthian Anna Gasser impressively demonstrated her skills on Thursday. With 78.53 points, the 33-year-old secured third place in the qualification for the slopestyle final and meets strong competition, especially the New Zealander Zoi Sadowski Synnott (88.54) and Japanese Kokomo Murase (79.54), which she just left her behind. Gasser, a sports legend with two Olympic gold medals and numerous other titles, strives for personal improvement this year and wants to say goodbye with an impressive appearance of her career in freestyle-snowboarding, such as Kurier reports .

Despite her success, Gasser is dissatisfied with some of her own achievements. In conversation, she emphasizes that she is not only concerned with medals, but also about representing her own style and showing that she has grown as an athlete. Her goal is to leave past the mistakes of the past, such as leaving the Olympic Gold in Beijing, and to be proud of their appearance. She does everything possible to further develop her technology and explore her personal limit. The slopestyle competition, which was preferred for Friday due to unfavorable weather forecasts, promises exciting snowboarding on a challenging, long course. Gasser's partner Clemens Millauer and 17-year-old Hanna Karrer, who gives her World Cup debut, also take part in the qualification, such as laola1.at reports .

challenges and ambitions

for Millauer, returning after a knee injury is already a challenge. Nevertheless, it is optimistic and has been able to prepare well for the conditions. The route at 2,500 meters of altitude demands everything from the athletes, especially among the big kickers who challenge the limit of what is possible. Karrer, on the other hand, is looking forward to the upcoming competitions and hopes to qualify for the finals in both slopestyle and in the Big Air. The pressure is low for the young athlete: "I don't stress myself because it is my first World Cup," she says. Both athletes could thus ensure exciting and emotional moments in the competition.
