Jenny Jones Takes Gold - Women's X Games Snowboard Slopestyle Results

A jubilant Jenny Jones could hardly believe what she had just accomplished in the Women's Snowboard Slopestyle.

The pride of Great Britain trailed Spencer O'Brien going into the final run and knew she had to do something big to steal the top spot. And Jones did just that, sticking a front-side 720 off the money booter final ramp to steal the victory and the gold medal from O'Brien 90.00 to 87.66.

"On my last run I knew what I had wasn't enough, so I had to lay down the 720," Jones said.

"Jenny rode super well," O'Brien said of the gold medalist. "I think we had a really good back and forth there with our final runs. She totally deserved it." Despite the snow, the course produced high speeds as the competitors flew around Buttermilk Mountain. "The weather was tough at the start," O'Brien said. "But when the snow turned to rain the course got faster and faster with every run and we were able to pull better jumps." Seattle's Megan Ginter scored an 82.00 for the bronze medal. Snowboard Slopestyle tests the rider's ability to handle a variety of terrain by executing freestyle maneuvers down a course filled with a variety of features. The Winter X Games 13 course contains rails, hips, tabletops and a variety of jumps, allowing riders to combine big air and technical tricks into one run. Results from Aspen/Snowmass on Saturday
