[NEWS1]</em></span> <span class="mask"></span> </div> </div> <br> The 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics gold medalist Choi Ga-on won the season title in the park and pipe overall standings at the FIS Snowboard World Cup. <br> <br> The season-ending World Cup slopestyle events in Silvaplana, Switzerland, were canceled due to adverse weather, which disrupted the schedule. That confirmed the final season standings, with Choi finishing No. 1 with 300 points in the women’s park and pipe overall rankings. <br><br>Choi became the second Korean rider to win a season title on the FIS World Cup circuit after Lee Sang-ho. Lee won the overall parallel title in the 2021 to 2022 season and the parallel slalom title in the 2023 to 2024 season. <br> <br> The FIS Snowboard World Cup is contested across snowboard cross, parallel slalom, parallel giant slalom, halfpipe, slopestyle and big air. The Crystal Globe is awarded to the top men’s and women’s riders in each discipline. <br> <br> Combined season titles are also awarded in the park and pipe category, which covers halfpipe, slopestyle and big air, and in the parallel category, which covers parallel slalom and parallel giant slalom. <br> <br> Choi won three halfpipe World Cup events this season to claim the women’s halfpipe Crystal Globe. She also finished No. 1 in the women’s park and pipe standings. <br> <br> At the Winter Olympics in February, Choi battled through injury to win Korea’s first Olympic gold medal in a snow sport. She did not return to the World Cup action after the Olympics to focus on her recovery, but she still capped the season with the overall title. <br> <br> “It is an honor to win the Crystal Globe along with the Olympic gold medal this season,” Choi said on social media. “I will continue to work hard.” <br> <br> “I’m so happy to be ending the season with more great news today,” Choi said on social media in English on Sunday. “I have added the Halfpipe Crystal Globe and the Overall Snowboard Crystal Globe [to my achievements].” <br><br><i>This article was originally written in Korean and translated by a bilingual reporter with the help of generative AI tools.
