Megan Nick won her second World Cup aerials title of the season, giving the U.S. women three consecutive World Cup victories in the freestyle skiing discipline for the first time ever.
Nick, a 24-year-old former gymnast, landed a full double full and prevailed in Raubichi, Belarus, over World Cup leader Laura Peel of Australia. Another rising American, Winter Vinecki, placed third.
Vinecki won last week’s World Cup event. Two other Americans — three-time Olympian Ashley Caldwell and Kaila Kuhn — made a podium in one of the five World Cups so far this season.
