Kirsty Muir takes maiden World Cup victory in Tignes Slopestyle World Cup
Kirsty Muir sealed her maiden World Cup victory with at the Tignes Slopestyle World Cup on Friday.
Having only returned to action from a serious knee injury in February, the 20-year-old’s performances in Tignes were a stunning showcase of the young Scot’s talent, delivering a richly deserved victory after missing more than a year of competitive action.
Qualifying in first spot, Muir’s opening run of Finals was enough to propel her into top spot, a position she held ahead of Australia’s Abi Harrigan and New Zealand’s Ruby Star Andrews in second and third place respectively.

“This just gives me the confidence that I am back, and I’m back stronger than I was which is even better. This is what I wanted, and here I am – first World Cup win, and after my knee, I’m just so stoked.”

“Kirsty has been working hard for over a year now coming back from her knee injury,” said the GB Snowsport Freeski Head Coach, Jamie Matthew.
“It’s incredible to see all that hard work pay off with her first World Cup win today.
“We have a great team around her and she’s stuck to her plan and goals every step of the way these past 14 months, so it’s very exciting to have her back where she belongs – at the top of women’s freeskiing.”
