Australia’s Alex “Chumpy” Pullin added a historic World Cup title to the World Championship crown he took in January, when he dominated qualifying and every race in the winner-take-all end-of-season snowboard cross finals in Arosa, Switzerland last night (Australian time). Pullin went into the finals needing to out-score Frenchman and one of his closest friends on the tour, Pierre Vaultier, by 604 points to secure the World Cup’s ultimate prize, the Crystal Globe trophy. The new world number one ranked snowboard cross rider did so in a convincing and dramatic way.
