Islanders win slopestyle event in Calgary
Darcy Sharpe continued emerging out of the long shadow cast by his ski half-pipe Olympic gold- and silver-medallist older sister, Cassie Sharpe, by winning the men’s slopestyle snowboard gold at the World Cup event Sunday in Calgary.
It was Sharpe’s second career World Cup gold medal following a victory in big air in 2015. He is also an X Games gold medallist and three-time X Games silver medallist and world championship silver medallist. Sharpe has said of his approach: “[Freestyler attitude] helps me deal with the pressure. I’m never super-nervous when that clicks in and I get into that flow-state. It’s the art of not giving a damn.
American Julia Marino won the women’s gold in the World Cup event with Laurie Blouin of Quebec City the silver medallist and Jasmine Baird of Georgetown, Ont., the bronze medallist.
