Winter Olympics 2022: Slopestyle next for Team GB’s Kirsty Muir after brilliant big air - then it’s back to school
Team GB freestyle skier Kirsty Muir is not focusing on a return to exam preparation yet — after making a “dream come true” by competing at the Winter Olympics and finishing fifth in her debut final — the big air competition. The 17-year-old was in bronze medal position after scoring 93.75 in her first run, thanks in part to landing her ‘dub 12’ trick, but was unable to break into the 80s over her next two runs, with China’s American-born star Eileen Gu taking gold ahead of Tess Ledeux of France and Mathilde Gremaud from Switzerland. Ad/> But Muir showed her immense promise, and she will now focus on slopestyle, before she crashes back down to reality.
