Australian aerial skier Danielle Scott has broken through for her first World Cup triumph in nearly three years in a timely boost to her medal hopes at next month's Winter Olympics.
The 35-year-old three-time Olympian has had a particularly lean run this season but put her woes behind her with a morale-boosting triumph at Lake Placid in the United States on Sunday (local time).
Scott scored 95.88 points in the super final to take top spot ahead of China's reigning Olympic champion Xu Mengtai, who scored 94.01, while America's 2025 world champion Kaila Kuhn was third with 92.29.
