Jamie Anderson continues her midus touch of a season with every slopstyle competition she enters turning to gold. There's no repeat of last years feat as Britains Jenny Jones finishes in 8th

American rider Jamie Anderson took first place in the women’s Snowboard slopestyle event in Tignes on Friday. She did this with a consistent run that scored 95.33 points.

This is the third gold medal in a Winter X Games event for the amazing 20-year-old Californian that has won almost everything this year, and comes on the back of her win at the US Open last weekend.

Her worst result this year was a third place in X-Games in Aspen in January! As the youngest women’s snowboard gold medal winner at an X event and the youngest ever medallist at the age of 15 back in 2006, Jamie has made a huge mark on Winter X Slopestyle and women's snowboarding in general.
