Zoe Atkin has won the Freeski Halfpipe World Championships title at the 2025 Freestyle World Championships in Engadin/St. Moritz.
"I feel amazing - I'm World Champion! I'm going to go celebrate, I'm going to eat all the Swiss chocolate I have in my bedroom, I'm going to have a drink out on the patio, I'm just so excited!"
Huge second run
Having qualified in second place behind China's Fanghui Li, Atkin sat in tenth spot heading into her second run before delivering a masterclass in performing under pressure to land a 93.50 run to take victory ahead of Li by just 0.5 points.
The result gives Atkin a third career World Championships medal following bronze in the 2021 World Championships and silver at the 2023 edition, and confirms her ascent and standing as one of the finest Halfpipe skiers of her generation.
"I was so nervous going into my second run so to be able to put it down when the pressure was on felt so good, and to come back after I got third at my first World Champs and second at my second Champs, it just feels so good, I'm so excited!"
Full Podium
1. Zoe Atkin (GBR) 93.50
