00:00The pro by movie star, our next rider in the start gate, this is French rider Zoe Delzoppo
00:06riding for Scott and Mahmoud, taking the win in the challengers.
00:10Zoe, well, I mean, she's a former Freeride Junior World Champion,
00:17took a season off to focus on her studies.
00:19She's a member of the Freeride World Tour Overachievers Club in medical school.
00:23Unreal.
00:23While she's doing this, her skiing is absolutely unbelievable.
00:27She's got that experience from the Junior World Championship, competing on a big stage,
00:31and she was pretty dominant in the Region 1 challengers.
00:35And the French rider now pushing to get things started here on the Freeride World Tour.
00:42Absolutely getting things kicked off here, taking that air up top.
00:48And then moving through this terrain, again, the athletes know at this point,
00:53they've been watching typically the live feed,
00:55so they know that this upper section is just kind of a moment to warm up and that it will improve.
00:59And I think that, like you said, the vibe today was actually a vibe of relief among the competitors
01:04that the watching for her air there, that the conditions had improved.
01:09I think the athletes are excited about the conditions.
01:11She was able to get an air there.
01:12It was a little bit of a cross court, finding a nice landing, keeping in the flow,
01:15kind of riding the mini spine on the middle of the venue.
01:18Yeah, Zoe taking a big chunk off of that feature right back into control.
01:23So skiing with intent and aggression and lining up this one that we saw quite popular with the snowboard men
01:28and a perfect landing there for Zoe Del Zappo.
01:32So a really clean run.
01:34The new riders on the Freeride World Tour, the rookies showing their veteran savvy
01:39as she is now down into the apron.
01:41Just got to make her way through this section.
01:43But a very strong statement from the La Clusab rider, that La Clusab Freeride team,
01:48they just keep on producing World Tour level athletes.
01:51And Zoe, the latest member of that club, as she is looking really strong all the way down
01:56as we're going to just wait to say anything more until she's through that finish arch.
02:01Let our rookie come through the finish arch to the celebration of the Spanish crowd.
02:06That feels good.
02:07She's on her feet.
02:07And that was a well-executed run.
02:09Once she got into the meat of it, she made quick work.
02:11She stayed in the fall line, and she put down her landings right to her feet.
02:15We'll take a look back at the replay, taking a bite off the appetizer air at the top.
02:22Then she gets into the meat of it here with this kind of cross-court air,
02:25finding kind of some tranny right next to the rocks there,
02:28and then redirecting to hit this sizable air,
02:31taking it right from the nose of that feature, landing.
02:34And again, a perfect little tranny right next to the bottom of the rock,
02:37a very veteran move.
02:38And then she's going to do it one more time here.
02:42Sniping like a little tail drag on the end of that rock.
02:44But again, a lot of times with these features,
02:46the best landing can be tucked in right against the rock
02:49where there's a little bit more steepness for you to...
02:51Again, the steepness of the landing is going to help with the impact.
02:55Yeah, way up high in the transition.
02:57So Zoe Dizopo now looking for the score.
03:00And it pops up to a 76-3-3.
03:04So Zoe, she looked at, you know, you could see...
