Peetu Piiroinen (FIN) is back at the top of the Swatch TTR World Ranking list

With an outstanding performance in both formats at the O’Neill Evolution, Peetu Piiroinen (FIN) is back at the top of the Swatch TTR World Ranking list.

In a tight battle between Marko Grilc (SLO) in today’s 5Star Slopestyle finals, Peetu kept his cool and collected his fifth result of the season at Davos. Grilc, however, was the best rider of the day and took home the 5 Star title and 850 Swatch TTR Ranking points with a run consisting of a double backflip, double cork 1080 and a 5-0 to backflip off the rail. Despite his win, Grilc was pushed into World No. 2.

Will Peetu get his second Consecutive Swatch TTR World Champion Title?

Peetu is aiming for his second consecutive title in 2009/10 and surely has the will to get there. If he does he would become the first snowboarder ever to win two consecutive Swatch TTR titles.
