Peel wins World Cup aerial skiing gold

Two-time Olympian Laura Peel has produced a huge personal-best score to claim her first World Cup aerial skiing gold medal of the season.

The 31-year-old from Canberra sealed her victory in Minsk, Belarus, with a triple flipping full-tuck-full jump to eclipse the opposition with a score of 106.53.

Peel won from China's Xu Mengtao and Sicun Xu.

The victory resulted in Peel climbing into second place on the season standings, just six points behind Mengtao, with two events remaining.

"It's an amazing feeling," said Peel after collecting the third World Cup gold medal of her career.

"I've definitely been wanting to crack the 100 point mark for a while, I came pretty close last week.

"But to put down my best jumps when it matters is awesome, all the hard work is coming together."

Poor snow conditions meant there was limited opportunity to practice but Peel turned that to her advantage.

"I have been doing this for a while and I just relied on my experience," she said.

"I honestly couldn't be happier."

Young Victorian Jakara Anthony also jumped to No.2 in the season standings for his event after claiming a bronze medal in the World Cup moguls skiing round in Tazawako, Japan.

The 21-year-old made it back-back podiums, having secured a silver medal in the US earlier this month.
