STEPH MAGIROS

This week I achieved the best result of my career by getting 10th in the Park City
World Cup / Grand Prix.

The Park City World Cup was also a US Grand Prix event meaning it counted for both FIS and TTR points.

I landed both my Qualification Runs scoring a 65.3 which is my highest score in a world cup yet. This had me in 5th position in my heat and securing myself a spot in my first Semi-final. Both my coaches (Berto and Boydy) were very happy with how I rode in qualification, because I was guaranteed a top 10 finish no matter how semis went.

I landed my first semi-final run not scoring as well as I did in qualification but that was ok. Then I switched my run around for my second semis run but was unable to land my crippler 7.

All up it was a great day achieving my personal best so far and walking away with a 10th place and a huge smile on my face.

After this great result I am currently sitting in 7th position on the World Snowboard Rankings and in the Top 20 on the FIS World Cup Tour Rankings.

2013 AUSTRALIA DAY

Check out a little edit i made of the comp i was in at breckenridge on Australia Day!

January 26th 2013.

I dont remember the last time i actually had Australia day in Australia but its still my favourite day of the season living in america!

The night before i decided to compete in a local usasa event to try and qualify for nationals.
There were 5 other local girls competing in open womens one of them being a fellow aussie!

Being australia day and not a serious comp i wanted to have some fun wearing as many aussie flags as i possible could, having then on the back of my bindings and wrapped around my leg and as a cape.

I was able to calm down from all the aussie excitment and focus on landing a run for the comp which i was able to land both my runs including a new combo ive been trying to land the past few World Cups.

My run was Air, Back 5, Air, Air, Front 3, Haakon Flip (Switch inverted 720), Crippler 7 (Inverted 720). It was the first time i landed back to back 7s in competition and it was more than enough to take home the Gold.

It was a great feeling standing on the top of the podium on Australia Day!

Last week i competed in the Copper World Cup whioch was also a US Grand Prix event so it counted for FIS and TTR World Snowboard Tour Points!

I had a solid amount of training leading up to this first even of the season and i was confident on the day of the event as my preperation was spot on.

I finished 27th out of 45 girls. I was very happy to have landed my first run of Air, Back 5, Air, Air, Front 3, Haakon Flip.
Going into my secound run i wanted to step it up as i had already landed my saftey run and recieved my highest score in a world cup so i decided to switch my run around and drop in on the other wall so i could add my Crippler 7 at the end. Unfortunatly i fell on my last hit being the crippler 7 but was still happy with how i competed and my result.

This event was the 2nd event of the Olympic Qualifyers and there were 4 Australians competing and i finished the 2nd highest ranked aussie which i was very happy about!

My next event is World Champs in Stoneham Quebec, CANADA!
