Japanese snowboarder Kokomo Murase won Olympic gold in women's big air, becoming the first Japanese woman to do so and landing a frontside triple cork 1440 on her final run.
Japanese snowboarder Kokomo Murase won gold in the women's big air event at the 2026 Winter Olympics, becoming the first Japanese woman to claim Olympic gold in the discipline and the first female snowboarder to podium at two consecutive Games.
Her victory, marked by a frontside triple cork 1440 on her final run, highlighted a new era of technical advancement, as all podium finishers landed triple-cork 1440s—tricks not seen at the previous Olympics.
Murase, who previously won bronze in Beijing, edged out New Zealand’s Zoi Sadowski-Synnott and South Korea’s Seung-eun Yu, while British teen Mia Brookes became the first woman to land a 1620-degree trick.
The win followed Japan’s sweep of the men’s big air podium, underscoring the nation’s growing dominance in snowboarding.
