Sharpe, also the Halfpipe Crystal Globe winner for 2018 and 2019, said, "It feels surreal at this point. I can't even put it into words, I've been through hell and back the last year, so I'm just so grateful that all the pieces that I've worked so hard on came together today."

"I'm going to get married, have a baby, get a dog, do all the life things," the 29-year-old added.

The bronze went to the 24-year-old Rachael Karker, also a Canadian, with her first-run score of 87.75.

KarKer had won the halfpipe silver in the 2021 World Championships in Aspen, 1.25 points behind the champion Gu.

"I'm very happy, I was hoping to come out with a medal and I just hoped I'd make Canada proud and happy to be here," Karker said.
