The competition turned out to an all-Chinese battle as China's top athlete Li scored 194.57 points to rank first and her 17-year-old teammate Xu Mengtao claimed the silver medal with 184.88 points.

    Another Chinese Zhang Xin, 21, placed third on the scoreboard but shared the bronze medal with Maral Unenbat of Mongolia who finished last with 61.02 points in the five-skier field as competition regulations stipulate that one team can not sweep all medals in freestyle skiing.

    The fourth place finisher was Guo Xinxin of China who totaled 167.41 points.

    The competition started 30 minutes behind the original schedule due to strong wind and heavy snow. "It is not an easy win under such bad weather, and my teammates are all excellent in the match. I did not jump in the best form but I am happy with the result," said 24-year-old Li after the match.

    "Racing at home made me much more nervous as I have to compete against my teammates, while in Europe we are working in a team."

    Kiyosawa, who finished 22nd in the recent Winter Universiade in Italy, stormed to victory in the Alpine skiing women's giant slalom by clocking 2:08.92.

    Oh Jae-Eun and Kim Sun-Joo, both of South Korea, took the silver and bronze medals in 2:09.64 and 2:11.8 respectively.

    "I started to feel a bit stress since yesterday, but I adjusted well to the best in today's match and I am happy with the result since Japan and Kazakhstan boast of many top skiers," said Oh.

    Chinese veteran Miao Liyan, 31, finished fourth while her teammate Dong Jinzhi settled for a fifth place in a field of of 27athletes from 12 countries and regions.

    "Overall, I skied to my best, especially in the second run. I lost simply because my opponents are too good," Miao said.
