British teenager Mia Brookes has won her second consecutive big air Crystal Globe despite not competing in the last big air event of the 2024/25 FIS Snowboard World Cup tour.
The Crystal Globe is awarded in the different ski and snowboarding competitions to the men and women who amass the most points from competitions through the season.
Despite not competing in the fifth and last big air competition of the 2024/25 FIS Snowboard World Cup season, Brookes won the big air Crystal Globe with 305 points thanks to her two victories from Beijing and Klagenfurt and her third place finish at Kreischberg.
Brookes, who turned 18 last month, watched from the sidelines as New Zealand’s Zoi Sadowski-Synnott won a second World Cup in Aspen in as many days with a big air victory on Thursday.
“I thought maybe (I’d finish) second if I was lucky, but definitely not a win,” said Brookes, “It’s really special when you’ve worked so hard over the season.”
