A World Cup gold medal already in the bag before his last run, Canadian snowboarder Darcy Sharpe soaked up the moment Sunday in Calgary.
The 27-year-old from Comox, B.C., earned his first career World Cup victory in slopestyle with a top score of 88.85 points in the second of his three runs.
Laurie Blouin of Quebec City was second in the women's final behind winner Julia Marino of the United States. Sharpe won a big air World Cup in Stoneham, Que., seven years ago, but slopestyle has a special place in his heart. "I won a big air in 2015 and it's been a long time since then," Sharpe said. "To come back and win a slopestyle, the event I really care about and admire more, it feels really good to get that done.
"As these features happen, you kind of get more and more stoked. Your flow states get more and more kicked in.""I didn't pick that especially because I was in Canada in Calgary, but it suits pretty well that I finished my run off with a rodeo 720," Sharpe said. "You're going to do it no matter what so what's the point of thinking about it, unless you need to think about it for the speed aspect side of things, but it was sideways across us and not affecting speed."Dusty Henricksen of the United States was second Sunday behind Sharpe with a score of 82.66 also in the second round. Marino, a silver medallist in the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing, took women's gold with 78.36 points and tops the women's season overall standings.
