In a breathtaking display of skill and determination, Taiga Hasegawa, the prodigious snowboarding sensation, secured victory at the Junior World Championships for Men's Slopestyle. Emerging onto the global snowboarding scene at the Stomping Grounds Sessions in Saas-Fee, SUI, just before turning 16 in October 2021, Hasegawa made an indelible mark by achieving a remarkable feat: becoming the first snowboarder to flawlessly execute 1800-degree spins in all four directions – frontside, backside, Cab, and switch backside.

The Junior World Championships culminated in a nail-biting finale, with Hasegawa showcasing nerves of steel. With his final run, he crafted an awe-inspiring performance that sealed his victory. Executing a seamless rail line and conquering the jumps with finesse, Hasegawa's maneuvers were nothing short of spectacular. His winning sequence included a rodeo 900 to switch back 1260, followed by a frontside 1260, and culminating with a cab 1440.

The competition was fierce, with Cameron Spalding from Canada securing second place with a score of 87.25, closely followed by Yuto Miyamura in third with 84.75. Hasegawa's triumph stands as a testament to his unparalleled skills and unyielding dedication to the sport, solidifying his position as a rising star in the world of snowboarding.
