Kaya Turski becomes first woman to win three
consecutive gold medals in Ski Slopestyle at Winter
X Games Aspen 2012

Third times a charm, but for Kaya Turski, all three times have been charms. Turski becomes the first woman to claim three consecutive gold medals in the Ski Slopestyle event at X Games Aspen 2012. In the past, Turski had the gold in the bag before the last run but with the increasing difficulty and competition level in women's slopestyle, Turski was banking on the final run to help push her to gold and the rest is history. A brilliant 95.00 run complete with her switch 1080 off the final jump and the gold was her's for the taking

"I've never seen the level so high as I've seen it today," Turski said. "Everyone is taking training seriously, eating well, and working hard, it's going to be a crazy couple of years."

Turski held off 18-year old Devin Logan, who's score of 92.33 landed her the silver medal.

"I was cheering on Kaya today," an exuberant Logan said. "We all want to push the sport every contest; I wanted her to put pressure on me to elevate the level of my riding, same with Anna (Segal). I saw her run and I knew I could do it. We all root for each other while pushing each other at the sometime."

Australia's Segal, who scored a 90.00 on here first run and led the competition through two rounds, grabbed the bronze.
