Whistler, BC was an appropriate place to end to the AFP World Tour this weekend - the home of the last winter Olympics hosted the AFP's World Championships just three weeks after the IOC announced that halfpipe skiing will be an Olympic sport in 2014.

Gus Kenworthy and Devin Logan claimed the top spots in the race to the Overall World Championship by scoring well in the events during the WSI/AFP Championships.

The two Overall Champs, alongside the other podium athletes, claimed their AFP trophies in front of thousands of fans in Whistler's center village. Event announcer Mike Atkinson remarked to the crowd, "What the Stanley Cup is to hockey and the PGA is to golf - that's what this event and the AFP are to our sport."

Overall Champion Gus Kenworthy could hardly contain his excitement about his Overall Championship status, "I did a ton of contests this year and worked as hard as I could to compete in as many disciplines as possible. I'm loving life right now, this is huge!"
