Laura Peel wins back-to-back World Cup Crystal Globes

14/3/2021

Laura Peel has added another title to her impressive season, securing back-to-back aerial skiing World Cup Crystal Globes after finishing sixth overnight in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

The 31-year-old double World Champion from Canberra now joins legends of the sport Jacqui Cooper and Alisa Camplin as multiple World Cup champions.

Peel was again the dominant athlete of the season performing the most difficult triple back somersaults at each event, recording four World Cup podium performances and the second World Championship gold medal of her career earlier in the week in Almaty.

Joining Peel in the super final was VIS teammate Danielle Scott who also jumped a number of triple back somersaults in finals.

Unfortunately in the super-final medal round both Scott and Peel had trouble landing their triple back somersaults finishing in in fifth and sixth place respectively.

Gabi Ash finished in ninth after earlier qualifying for finals in a personal best fourth place.

“It’s been a massive week, but honestly I could not have asked for more, I started the season with the yellow leaders bib and to finish with the yellow bib and a World Championship win is the dream ending really”, said Peel after receiving her Crystal Globe.

“It’s been nine months now that I have been on the road so looking forward to heading home.”

Peel finished the season on top of the World Cup standings with 450 points, followed by American Winter Vinecki with 343 points with Marion Thenault of Canada in third with 312 points.

Australian aerial skier Laura Peel has won gold at the FIS World Championships, performing a number of spectacular triple back somersaults to claim victory in Almaty, Kazakhstan, overnight.
 
The 31-year-old from Canberra is now the first ever Australian aerial skier to win two World Championship gold medals, having first won gold in Kreischberg, Austria, in 2015.
 
In the super final, Peel competed one of the most difficult jumps ever performed by a female competitor, full-full-full, a triple twisting triple back somersault scoring a huge 106.46 points to take the win.
 
Behind Peel on the podium was American Ashley Caldwell who also jumped a full-full-full with 101.74 points and Russian Liubov Nikitina on 94.47 points.
 
Narrowly missing the medals in fourth place was Australian teammate Danielle Scott who also performed high scoring triple somersaults throughout the day and won the earlier qualification round in only her second competition start since the Olympic final in 2018.
 
Behind Peel on the podium was American Ashley Caldwell with 101.74 points and Russian Liubov Nikitina in third place on 94.47 points.
 
“Honestly the second time feels even better”, said Peel after stepping off the podium.
 
“My qualification jumps were not my best, but I saved my best for the final, it’s only the second time I have competed that jump, I am so happy to put it down.”
 
The aerial skiers will remain in Almaty for the World Cup final which will take place on March 13, when Peel will be aiming to make it back to back World Cup titles.
 
Peel is currently in first place on the standings with 410 points, 67 points clear of the next ranked skier, Winter Vinecki of the USA. Peel needs to finish in seventh place or better to secure the title and season champion Crystal Globe.

VIS aerial skier Danielle Scott has continued her great form with a double victory in the Europa Cup event at Airolo, Switzerland.
 
The 30-year-old dual World Championship medallist performed triple somersault for her first ever time in competition, recording impressive scores to easily take the win in both events.
 
Day One
On the first day of competition, Scott jumped two different triple somersaults, qualifying to the final in first place with a 93.49 lay-tuck-full and 100.17 point full-tuck-full jump.

In the final, Scott improved her full-tuck-full to score 100.17 points, with a winning margin of 17 points to the second place finisher Emma Weiss of Germany. Rounding out the podium in third place was Carol Bouvard of Switzerland.

Scott's VIS teammate, Gabi Ash, advanced to the final in second place with good scores on her two qualifying jumps, and finished fifth in the final.

Day Two
On day two, Scott performed her triple twisting double somersaults to again record victory.

In the final Scott scored 94.47 points, to easily finish ahead of Carol Bouvard of Switzerland, who was over 35 points behind in second place, with Ukrainian Anastasiya Novosad in third place.
 
Gabi Ash again qualified well in third place, but had trouble with her landings in the final and just missed the podium in fourth place.
 
The aerial skiing athletes will head to Almaty, Kazakhstan, for the World Championships on March 10 and World Cup final at the same location on March 13.
