Atkin wins X Games Superpipe Gold

Freeski sensation takes Britain’s second X Games title of 2026 contest

Zoe Atkin took gold with a sensational performance in the Women’s Freeski Superpipe competition at X Games last night, giving Britain a second victory of the Games following Mia Brookes’ earlier Snowboard Slopestyle title.

In a field featuring some of the world’s top Freeski Halfpipe talent, Atkin took victory with a score of 94.66, finishing 4.66 points ahead of Indra Brown in second place.

Victory gives Atkin a third career X Games podium following victory in the 2023 competition and a silver medal in 2024, while she also boasts three World Cup podiums this season having taken gold in Copper and silver in Secret Garden and Buttermilk.

Atkin was yesterday confirmed as part of the snowsport contingent selected to represent Team GB at the Milano Cortina Olympic Winter Games, her second Team GB selection having also competed in the Beijing Games in 2022.
