This was the final day of the 2025 World Freestyle Skiing and Snowboarding Championships. Team Canada won eight medals overall (three gold, two silver and three bronze).

Sharpe won the gold medal in women’s halfpipe at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang. Her bronze medal in Engadin will give her confidence as she prepares for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milan/Cortina d’Ampezzo.
