Freestyle star takes Britain’s first World Championships title of 2025

Zoe Atkin has become Britain’s latest Freestyle World Champion after an incredible Freeski Halfpipe victory at the 2025 Freestyle World Championships in Engadin/St. Moritz.

Sitting in last place going into her second and final run, Atkin delivered a masterclass in performing under pressure landing a 93.50 run to take victory ahead of China’s Fanghui Li by just 0.5 points.

The result gives Atkin a third career World Championships medal following bronze in the 2021 World Championships and silver at the 2023 edition, and confirms her ascent and standing as one of the finest Halfpipe skiers of her generation.

Speaking afterwards, Zoe said:

“I feel amazing – I’m World Champion! I’m going to go celebrate, I’m going to eat all the Swiss chocolate I have in my bedroom, I’m going to have a drink out on the patio, I’m just so excited!

“I was so nervous going into my second run so to be able to put it down when the pressure was on felt so good, and to come back after I got third at my first World Champs and second at my second Champs, it just feels so good, I’m so excited!”
