New Zealand snow sports stars Zoi Sadowski-Synnott and Nico Porteous have both claimed gold medals at the FIS Freeski and Snowboard World Championships in Aspen.

Along with the gold medal, Sadowski-Synnott has become the first person to ever defend a FIS Snowboard World Championship title and it came at the last possible moment for the 24-year-old.
