Anna Gasser makes history as first female snowboarder to land triple cork
Olympic champion Anna Gasser has become the first woman to land a cab triple cork. The 27-year-old pulled off the jump on her first attempt at the Stubai Glacier in Austria.
The cab triple 1260 involves taking off in the switch position with your ‘wrong’ foot forward, followed by three and a half rotations in the air, and then landing in the forward position. The Austrian also made history in 2013 with a cab double cork 900 kicker, and 2015 when she became the first woman to land a competition cab double underflip. She also claimed the gold medal in the Big Air competition at the Pyeongchang Games.
