Anderson returns to top of X Games podium
By Karen Price, Team USA
Jamie Anderson of Meyers crashed on her first run in the slopestyle snowboarding competition at X Games in Aspen, Colo., on Friday, but the reigning Olympic queen never stays down for long.
Anderson came back and threw down a second run that included a big front side 720 and cab double cork 900 to score 94 points and overtake teammate and reigning X Games champion Julia Marino at the top of the podium.
The most decorated slopestyle snowboarder in X Games history now has five gold medals and 14 overall at the competition, finishing on the podium in every single X Games slopestyle event she’s ever entered.
