Zoe Atkin, 23, clinched her first World Cup halfpipe title with an 86.75 score at the Park and Pipe finals in Silvaplana, Switzerland. The British freestyle skier edged out New Zealand’s Mischa Thomas (80.75) and neutral athlete Aleksandra Glazkova (80.00), securing 360 points for the season—70 ahead of Australia’s Indra Brown. This victory ended her previous shared crown with China’s Li Fanghui, marking a historic moment for British winter sports.

Atkin’s triumph follows Kirsty Muir’s dual World Cup titles in slopestyle and park and pipe, making her the first British woman to achieve this feat. The win also coincided with Charlotte Bankes’ third World Cup title in snowboard cross, highlighting a surge in UK winter sports dominance. Atkin’s consistency—winning two of the season’s three events—cements her status as a top contender.

The Park and Pipe finals underscored Atkin’s technical precision and aerial control, critical factors in her win. With the season concluded, attention shifts to preparations for the 2026 Winter Olympics, where Atkin aims to defend her bronze medal. Her performance sets a benchmark for British athletes in freestyle skiing.

Atkin’s 360-point total and Muir’s dual titles redefine Britain’s competitive edge in freestyle disciplines. As teams eye future Olympics, these results signal a new era of dominance in winter sports.
