00:00to her champion Justine Dufour-Lapointe she does have an opportunity to take the title today but
00:05that task just got incredibly more difficult as that run from our wild card Nadine Vollner was
00:12unbelievable Justine Dufour-Lapointe now on the upper section of the Vilsi loader and getting
00:16ready to kick things off yeah that must have i'd be curious to be inside the mindset of Justine
00:22Dufour-Lapointe watching Nadine a hero of hers just lace one on but Justine is making quick work
00:29great technique through this top section of variable terrain yeah and she's going to come
00:34into this central couloir that's seen a lot of activity i'm going to gather that she's going
00:38to go for this side hit that we saw me or Britta hit excuse me and she's going to come in here
00:43lacing it up a little bit bigger angle off it nice clean landing yeah Justine she her skiing
00:49is is kind of best described as athletic you know it's honed on years of the the freestyle
00:55mogul world cup and she's extremely strong coming down over a ton of exposure now as her she's
01:01taking a different line and looking like she's going into the same zone that we saw Nadine go
01:05with a massive send for Justine a little short but she managed to ride it out wow she the bar
01:13was set and Justine matched it looked maybe potentially just her hands touched but such
01:18strong landing huge air out of Justine these women are stepping up to what is expected out
01:26of them today well Justine another one like Molly who's riding without pressure of the cut
01:32she is guaranteed to make it through catching another couple little features down there at
01:37the bottom this is a very strong showing from the 2023 world champ and current freeride world tour
01:43leader and she is pleased you can always see Justine wears her heart on her sleeve the arms
01:49go out when she's stoked and you can see her shoulders droop when she's not after she's
01:53gone down on some enormous backflip attempt but that was a huge run and a real statement I'd say
01:59from the tour leader that she's not letting her foot off the gas at all yeah and I think she's
02:03kind of known as someone that does backflips all the time and it's cool to see her step to a big
02:08mountain line like that and show that she can hang on that sort of terrain too
02:16wow that was so hard well there you go that's the story as we look back Hadley at the replay of
02:24Justine's run so again off this top air that the other women have gone off of taking it well and
02:30then again she lined up straight where Nadine went matching Nadine going huge oh she clips a
02:38rock at the bottom and is still able to hold on for that landing oh she goes like 25 30 feet to
02:44a rock and stomped it I mean I think this just shows how how Justine is so well prepared for
02:52this tour she does the physical fitness she does the mental fitness to you know correct those
02:58mistakes yeah and out of all the competitors she truly loves competing competing is so fun for her
03:04loves the whole experience I thought Nadine was going to be comfy in the hot seat but I know
03:22no she's got some pressure yeah absolutely all right well the judges about their say as we see
03:27the score coming up up up 83-33 so just behind Nadine which makes sense you know
