Transcript

00:00 It's a knife ridge and we have our next rider and our next title contender Anna Martina

00:05 She's a former junior freeride world champion

00:08 She's sitting second overall right now and she is ready to go on course right now a rookie in contention for the title

00:16 Unbelievable scenes dropping in from start one already catching some airtime and looking super solid and comfortable in that steep terrain

00:24 She's looking to get her some more features here

00:27 beautiful landing

00:29 She's picking up some speed

00:31 Heading down to the next feature on her heelside setting in a turn over that wind lip I suppose. Yeah

00:38 Well Anna Martina is adding another feature above the one that Aaron Sauve hit so definitely building up the line score with another air here

00:47 Picking up speed. She's so strong on her board a little bit of a little bit of a powder cloud

00:52 They're giving herself a face shot on the pitsy back and another chunky one here as Anna lines it up on that toe side edge

00:59 And stomps it don't barely any hesitation that oh, oh Anna just going down the

01:07 The forerunners did mention that where the tracks are it starts to step out a little bit

01:13 There's you can almost see it looked like she dropped into an old track and it just bucked her a little bit on her board

01:17 Sure, but she's not done yet. She's heading into her last feature

01:23 With a little butt cheek that's okay. That's a sick feature look for like I see I see feature

01:29 I yeah a little bit of an ice fall up there on the pitty back. So Anna Martinez doing her part now

01:35 She's gonna make her way into the finish arch definitely a few issues in that run that I think the judges are gonna really take

01:41 into consideration

01:42 Especially after the perfection that we saw from Aaron Sauve, but certainly Aaron building a line score on that. Sorry

01:48 Anna building a line score on that one as she ticked off a bunch of features in that run

01:53 Yeah, she had a stuck like a stack run and to like put that down and find every feature the way she did is super

01:59 Yeah, like Aaron mentioned sick line

02:10 So talk us through this replay. She won. Yes at the first feature was perfectly executed then coming into the second one

02:19 She oh, okay. She also sets her turn super super Wow

02:22 Hitting that line choice and there is super gnarly like sitting in between those rocks getting caught up a little bit

02:30 Which does duck your like?

02:32 Delighted level quite a bit sometimes but I think like the way she recovered from that is super epic

02:38 But that's when you said that she kind of hit an old track

02:41 Yeah bounced in an old track and then this one was very nicely. Oh, sorry. That was her

02:45 Yeah bounce onto the the heel side edge

02:48 I mean she's fun

02:48 You kind of know how that feels on a snow or you do know how that feels on a snowboard on that heel side edge

02:53 When the terrain throws something at you that you maybe didn't expect or didn't see you don't have a lot of ability with both feet

02:59 Attached to the to the board exactly. You have to be super like super agile to get that and she is a super agile rider

03:05 I've seen her handle that super well, but after having to like control issues at the top

03:10 I do know that your confidence does go down a little bit for sure. That's gonna play into the mind a lot

03:14 So here are two of the three title contenders as we said, whichever one of these women wins today is gonna take the title

03:22 so 56 6 7 and a
