Japan's Murase clinches Olympic big air gold as Gasser is toppled
New Zealand's Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, looking to to top the podium in the event for the first time, had to settle for silver while South Korean teenager Yu Seung-eun won bronze.
Beijing 2022 bronze medallist Murase, 21, led the 12-strong field after the first run at the floodlit Livigno Snow Park, with a score of 89.75.
But Yu was in charge after the second run with total of 171.00 points, with the scores from the two highest-scoring tricks out of three combined to determine the athlete's overall ranking.
