Crankworx Christchurch Ōtautahi Slopestyle: Erik Fedko edges Dawid Godziek as Shealen Reno takes women’s win

Crankworx Christchurch opened its Ōtautahi Slopestyle finals with a men’s result that was decided by 0.84 points at the top. Erik Fedko’s 100.70 held off Dawid Godziek’s 99.86, with Nicholi Rogatkin close behind on 99.13, creating one of the tightest top threes on the early 2026 calendar.

Fedko’s win matters beyond the event itself because Christchurch is positioned as a top tier stop inside the Slopestyle Super League structure, where early season points can shape the rest of the campaign. A win at a Gold level event is the kind of result that can change an athlete’s trajectory quickly when margins at the top are this small.

On the women’s side, Shealen Reno delivered the winning score of 90.33, narrowly beating Patricia Druwen on 90.00. Harriet Burbidge-Smith rounded out the podium on 74.66, with the scoring gap from second to third underlining how much Reno and Druwen separated themselves at the top on the day.

With both finals producing clear lead battles, Christchurch sets an immediate baseline for who is arriving in form. The men’s top three were separated by 1.57 points, and the women’s top two by 0.33, making execution and consistency as valuable as headline tricks at this first major checkpoint of the season.
