The number of strange incidents happening in this year’s Winter Olympics is scary. During the slopestyle training competition, a Japanese snowboarder named Rina Yoshika hit the slopes hard, causing severe injuries to her spine. In the same way, Team USA’s Julia Marino had a scary crash. But fortunately, she bounced back and managed to provide a sensational performance.

The scare did not turn out to be of much significance. During her second run, she put on a great score and fetched the silver medal for Team USA. Notably, it is her first Olympic medal in the slopestyle competition and she looked delighted.

Julia Marino makes a sensational comeback

The 2018 Olympics saw her finishing 11th in slopestyle while ending her big air competition ranking 10th. Hence, it turned out to be a forgetful disappointment.

This year, coming onto her first run, she suffered a crash that may have led to her hopes of winning a medal, down the drain. Opening the pages of the Shaun White book of tricks, she recovered well during her second run and scored a total of 87.68. Hence, this gave her the medal.

“It’s a run I’ve been wanting to put down for a long time and you know this season didn’t necessarily get to put that one down and to do it here just means a whole lot different than anything else,” said Marino.

What a performance!

While she took the silver medal, New Zealand made history as well. Their first gold medal, in any event, saw the 20-year-old, Zoi Sadowski-Synnott put a sensational performance to claim her first gold. She took the medal from Marino’s hands with a delightful 92.88 in her third run. To say the least, it became a sight to watch the outstanding Zoi win her first medal for her nation.

As for Marino, this is the first of many. The expectations will be high for the talented snowboarder as America opens its account for the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022.
