Magnitogorsk, Russia - Despite some insanely cold weather, the Swatch TTR THREE(3)STAR BGV Fest went down without a hitch this past weekend as Finnish snowboarders showed everyone how it’s done. With over 10 000 spectators watching, Tero Poikajarvi from Finland stood atop the podium with fellow Finnish snowboarder Otto Veijol taking second and Alessandro-Boris Boyens from Germany rounding out the Top 3. Pokajarvi took home 550 TTR Ranking points and a big piece of the $15 000 USD prize purse.
The set up of the slopestyle competition featured three types of freestyle terrain and provided snowboarders with lots of room for creativity. The majority of each athlete’s points were scored on the big jump, which was weighted at 60%. The pyramid, or hip jump, in the middle of the course was designated 35%, and the rails were allocated just 5% of the total score for each snowboarder. Eight snowboarders made it from the semi-finals into the finals, but things got really interesting during the dramatic six-man super-final. Originally, only four competitors were supposed to move on to the super-final, but due to such a small point difference, the judges decided to let two additional snowboarders compete in the super-final, which saw the Finnish guys take it all home. ![]() ![]() After the competition, snowboarders and spectators warmed up by the fire along with some performances from local Russian bands and DJs.

Coming up soon is the Swatch TTR SIX(6)STAR Arctic Challenge in Oslo Norway along with another batch of solid TTR THREE(3)STAR events from around Europe. |
