The win means she has now won 11 X Games medals, six of which are gold, reports Snow Sports NZ.
“Being able to do that run, which is a dream run of mine I never thought was possible, it means the world to me to be back here at X Games.” said Sadowski-Synnott, 23.
“Honestly, I didn’t know if I would be on the podium again going through this injury, so to be back here in the mix with the girls and to be part of the progression means so much to me and to win this comp, I can’t even believe it.”
Sadowski-Synnott came out swinging in the playoffs, and laced together a solid rail section before putting down her switch backside 1260, then stomping back-to-back double corked 1080s on the last two jumps. Scoring a 92.33, she cruised through to the final round with ease.
“I am just stoked to be here, and a big congrats to everyone, we got such epic conditions to ride here today so I am just so grateful,” she said.
With a score of 94.66 on the board, Sadowski-Synnott remained untouchable for the remainder of the competition and took the win. Kokomo Murase of Japan and Great Britain’s Mia Brookes joined her on the podium in second and third respectively.
