KREISCHBERG, Austria, Jan. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Way to start the new year! Monster Energy congratulates freeski athletes Birk Ruud and Giulia Tanno for earning gold in the Freeski Big Air Men's and Women's event, respectively, at the Kreischberg Austria World Cup today. Held as a closed-to-the-public event under strict Covid-19 safety guidelines at the popular Alpine resort, the nighttime event brought spectacular freeski aerial action to viewing audiences across the globe.
Both Ruud and Tanno had finished last year's FIS Freeski World Cup season by winning Crystal Globe trophies and just earned a head start with 1,000 World Cup points each in the 2021 ranking. These points are even more valuable considering that Kreischberg is the first qualifier for next year's Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games.
