Defending champion Lydia Lassila has opted for safety first in her opening contest of the 2010 aerial skiing season, but has still finished in the top five in a World Cup in Calgary. Facing a deteriorating jump site and varying speeds on the inrun and kickers, Lassila substituted a double twisting double somersault for her high end triple twisting triple, ending the competition with a total of 164.81 points.
