In her last Olympic event before retiring, French snowboarder Lucile Lefevre flashed her claws catching Big Air in Beijing.
After injuring her knee during the slopestyle competition last week, Lefevre said she still wanted to compete in one last Big Air competition before stepping away from the sport.
Unable to execute any tricks due to her injury, Lefevre caught Big Air and waved goodbye to those in attendance, donning the official French uniform in the penultimate jump of her career.
However for her final jump with the crowd now in her corner, she flew through the air roaring and clawing for the cameras in her tiger onesie.
She stuck her landing and with the crowds crescendo she waved goodbye to her Olympic career as a Beijing Bengal.
“It was not super beautiful,” she told the Associated Press. “So I decided for the last one to just say hi to the judges. And especially the French one, because it’s a friend of mine.”
