The Spanish rider Queralt Castellet took the podium this Saturday with the bronze medal in the halfpipe final of the FIS World Cups in Aspen Snowmass (Colorado, United States), in a very close final that the American Chloe Kim won.

With difficult wind conditions and snow starting to fall, the Sabadell team did not start well in the first two rounds but returned to the podium that it already occupied with silver in 2015 in

Kreischberg

(Austria).

Castellet fell on the first trick and fell again on the second while executing a Bs9.

Kim was already outstanding in the gold.

However, in a pipe that saw him win gold at last year's X Games, the excitement remained until the end.

The snowfall gave a truce and in the final round, the Spanish rider, the penultimate to go into action, did her magic, saving the best for last.

A round of six tricks: Drop in Switch, Switch back 5, Cab 7, Fs 5, Bs 9, Fs 9 much more technical and difficult than that of the Japanese Sena Tomita, who snatched the bronze with 87.50 points, touching the silver of the American

Maddie Mastro

(89.00), for the 93.75 points of Kim's gold.

"I'm super happy. The truth is that it has been a tachycardic and very complicated final. I have not managed to iron neither the first nor the second round, so in the third and last it was all or nothing. I came out practically shaking, but I knew I could do it well. I came out with a lot of nerves and pressure, but I went for it all and I am very excited to have won the medal and made the podium in a competition as important as this and in a year in which everything is much more complicated. "Queralt said.
