With both the Utah 2019 World Championships gold and silver medallists out of this week’s Aspen 2021 world champs due to injury, and with no other women’s champions from years past slated to drop in on competition, we’re ensured of seeing a brand-new World Champion by the end of the day on Friday. Estonia’s Kelly Sildaru will not be competing this week after injuring her knee in training for the X games big air at the end of January, while Cassie Sharpe of Canada suffered an injury mid-competition at X Games - though she still did enough before she went down to earn silver there.
