Snowboarding at the 2022 Winter Olympics – Women's big air
Snowboarding event at the 2022 Winter Olympics
The women's big air competition in snowboarding at the 2022 Winter Olympics was held on 14 February (qualification) and 15 February (final), at the Big Air Shougang in Beijing.[1] Anna Gasser of Austria won the event, successfully defending her 2018 title. Zoi Sadowski-Synnott of New Zealand won the silver medal, and Kokomo Murase of Japan bronze, her first Olympic medal.
The 2018 silver medalist, Jamie Anderson, twice Olympic champion in slopestyle, and the bronze medalist, Sadowski-Synnott, qualified as well. Andreson did not qualify for the finals. At the 2021–22 FIS Snowboard World Cup, only two big air events were held before the Olympics. Gasser was second in both, and was leading the ranking, followed by Reira Iwabuchi and Murase. Laurie Blouin was the 2021 world champion, with Sadowski-Synnott and Miyabi Onitsuka being the silver and bronze medalists, respectively. Sadowski-Synnott was the 2021 X-Games winner, ahead of Anderson and Onitsuka.
