Christian Haller and Kelly Clark took top honours at the O’Neill Evolution 2011 halfpipe finals in Davos, Switerland.
This 6-star TTR World Tour contest saw a close fought final in the men’s competition with the podium being an all Swiss affair of Christian Haller, Iouri Podladtchikov and Jan Scherre.
It was Christian however who took the final victory and the $15,000USD prize money after his third heat run with a score of 87.45.
Says Haller: “I’m feeling great. I wouldn’t have expected it – honestly! I grew up in Davos and I grew up riding this pipe so it makes it even more special than a normal win.”
The women’s final saw Kelly Clark dominating throughout with Slovenian rider Cilka Sadar in second and the Norwegian rider Kjersti Buaas in third.
“The sport is progressing and I just feel honoured to be part of that and part of shaping that,” said Kelly. “I love competing. I thrive in this environment. It causes me to rise to the occasion and have great riding come out. I don’t see myself slowing down any time soon."
