Italian duo Elisa Caffont and Maurizio Bormolini have defeated compatriots Jasmin Coratti and Gabriel Messner in the big final to win the snowboard mixed parallel team event at the world championships.

It was the only competition to take place at the freestyle skiing and snowboard worlds on Sunday because other events were rescheduled due to expected unfavorable weather conditions.
