Great Britain’s Zoe Atkin reached the crowning moment of her stellar season with a maiden world title on the final day of the freeski halfpipe championships in Engadin, Switzerland, on Sunday. It was third time lucky for the 22-year-old, who won bronze at the event in 2021 and silver in 2023.

“I feel amazing, I’m world champion,” Atkin said. “I’m going to go celebrate, I’m going to eat all the Swiss chocolate I have in my bedroom. I’m going to have a drink out on the patio. I’m just so excited.”
