ASPEN Like every contest since Shaun White’s Olympic win in 2018, the men’s snowboard halfpipe world championship came down to Japan’s Yuto Totsuka and Australia’s Scotty James. Everyone else is essentially riding for bronze these days, and the rest of the athletes understand this.
“It’s amazing,” Switzerland’s Jan Scherrer said of sharing the podium with Totsuka and James, “but on the other side I had two podiums last year, and I feel every time you make a podium it’s with them. So it’s not too special to be honest. It’s obviously special to be on the podium, but not when the other two guys are Yuto and Scotty.”

Scotty James and Chloe Kim again led the way in Buttermilk’s famed superpipe on Thursday by finishing atop their respective snowboard qualifiers on Day 2 of the world championships in Aspen.
James, the dominant Australian with three X Games Aspen gold medals, lapped the field in the men’s snowboard halfpipe qualifier with a score of 94.25 on his second of two runs. He scored 93 on his first run, which also would have easily led the way.
