(Reuters) - Grounded by a troubling ankle injury for much of 2024, New Zealand's first Winter Olympic champion Zoi Sadowski-Synnott is now back on top of the snowboarding world after a "mind-blowing" few weeks in Colorado.
The 23-year-old swept both the slopestyle and big air gold medals at the World Cup in Aspen, after claiming the X-Games slopestyle title at the resort in late-January.
