Norway's Tormod Frostad beat the top favourites and claimed freestyle skiing men's big air gold at the Milan/Cortina Winter Games on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old was leading after the first two runs with scores of 95.25 and 97.00.
In the third and final run, United States' Mac Forehand took the lead with a monstrous score of 98.25 points, meaning Frostad needed to at least beat his first-run score.
And that was exactly what he did - registering the biggest individual score of the competition with 98.50 points to take the first title of his career with a total of 195.50 points.
Ahead of the Winter Games, Frostad only had one World Cup win to his name.
Twice X Games winner Forehand had to settle for silver, while bronze went to Austria's Matej Svancer.
The start of the competition was delayed by 15 minutes due to heavy snowfall. The weather conditions in Livigno have forced several changes to the freestyle skiing and snowboarding schedules.
