Anna Gasser fights bravely, but only ends up in fifth place at the Big Air!

In the Klagenfurt Stadium, the highly expected big air event took place on Sunday evening, in which the domestic snowboarder Anna Gasser unfortunately only took fifth place. Despite a solid performance that brought her third after the first round, Gasser had to leave the top position with 163.75 points after a failed jump in the final. The British athlete Mia Brooks secured the victory with impressive 184.25 points, followed by the Japanese Mari Fukada and Momo Suzuki.

After Gasser occurred strongly in the first round, the podium seemed close. After the competition, she was enthusiastic about the spectators: "The mood was insane, it inspired me very much." However, it was the last jump that refused to climb the podium: "If I am the country, I'm on Stockerl, but the other girls jumped so well," she said after her home game, like laola1.at reported .
