Host, Iain Martin, was joined by Olympian and former Team GB Skier X athlete Emily Sarsfield.
SHOW NOTES
Kirsty Muir finished 4th in the Ski Big Air (1:00)
Why Kirsty opted to go big for her final trick (2:00)
“The judges have ranges for tricks. She had already nearly maxed out the available score for trick A and while the score for trick B was high, it wasn’t that clean a jump, so had more scope to increase. That trick has scored in the 96/7 range before. Plus on run three she tried to add in a new grab that, had she landed, would have asked serious questions of the judges.”
