Japan’s Tsubaki Miki won the women’s parallel slalom at a snowboarding World Cup event on Saturday for her second win of the season.
The 21-year-old came second in the qualification round to reach the last 16 and won four heats to secure the title in Davos, Switzerland, edging Michelle Dekker of the Netherlands in the final. Swiss Flurina Neva Baetschi claimed third in the non-Olympic discipline.
It was Miki’s fifth career win on the circuit including the parallel giant slalom.
Miki bounced back straight away after she began the season with five podium finishes in a row before the run ended on Dec. 14. While aiming to make the semifinals in 70 percent of the World Cup events this season, she has made the top four in all seven so far.
