Great Britain's Kirsty Muir capped off the 2024/25 FIS Freeski World Cup season with slopestyle wins at the Tignes Mountain Shaker event.
Scottish skier Kirsty Muir claimed victory at Tignes (FRA) on Friday after topping the 10-woman final thanks to her first run score of 77.98.
The 20-year-old took to the slopestyle course with ease in the first run to put down a switch left bio 900 blunt, then a right 720 safety, then a left 270 continuing 270 on rail one, then a switch left 270 to forward, a right slide to frontside 450 off, followed by a left cork 900 tailgrab on the final booter.
Australia's Abi Harrigan was runner-up on 75.41 to claim her first World Cup top-three finish, while 20-year-old Ruby Star Andrews (NZL) was third on 72.75, marking her third World Cup career podium and the first since 2023.
"It's crazy, this is my first World Cup win and just coming back from my knee and everything – honestly, the best feeling ever," said Muir, adding, "I'm just so hyped and so stoked for the other girls; Ruby and Abi absolutely smashing it."
Her victory on Friday marks a remarkable return to form, as the 20-year-old only returned to World Cup competition in February following more than a year away due to a knee injury.
