Kokomo Murase separated from Zoi Sadowski-Synnott by 6.75 points as the Kiwi rallied from an opening-run miss to finish on 172.25. Bronze went to Yu Seung-eun with 171.00 in her Olympic debut.
The event closed a shifting era. Two-time champion Anna Gasser finished outside the medals, while world champion Murase converted consistency and highest-difficulty jump selection into the decisive edge. Britain’s Mia Brookes placed fourth.
Podium
• 1. Kokomo Murase, Japan, 179.00
• 2. Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, New Zealand, 172.25
• 3. Yu Seung-eun, South Korea, 171.00
The result confirms Murase as the current benchmark in women’s big air and extends Sadowski-Synnott’s run of Olympic medals in the discipline across three Games. Yu delivers South Korea’s first Olympic women’s snowboard medal.
