The day before, on Monday, she had already claimed victory in the jump and slalom competitions, which means she has now earned three gold medals in as many events.
The silver medal went to Canadian skier Paige Rini, while the bronze was awarded to another American, Anna Gay. Chilean skier Agustina Varas, unfortunately, missed out on a podium finish, coming in fourth place.
In the overall category, which combines scores from jump, slalom, and tricks, Regina Jaquess finished with 2,633.02 points, ahead of Rini (2,623.14) and Gay (2,599.36).
