Cassie Sharpe claimed silver and Rachael Karker bronze in the women's freeski halfpipe final on Friday for Canada's 21st and 22nd medals at the Beijing Olympics. China's Eileen Gu won gold for her third medal in Beijing.
Eileen Gu has become the first-ever freestyle skier to win three medals at one Winter Olympics after storming to victory in the women’s halfpipe final. The American-born Chinese superstar is no stranger to picking up three medals at events, doing so at last year’s world championships and Winter X Games as well as the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics.
Thomas Bach has hit out at the treatment meted out to Kamila Valieva, calling the behaviour of the 15-year-old's entourage «chilling». Coach Eteri Tutberidze’s first words to Valieva on her exit from the ice rink after she lost out on a medal in the ladies’ singles were to ask her, “why did you let it go?” Ad/> Valieva was the focus of all the build-up to Thursday’s free skate and had the pressure of the world’s attention on her as she skated on following the revelation that she failed a doping test on December 25.
Petra Vlhova, Nathan Chen and Eileen Gu are among the stars to have claimed top prize on the world’s biggest stage at Beijing 2022, but viewers may have noticed a change in podium ceremonies. The medal ceremonies at Tokyo 2020 were switched up due to Covid regulations — which saw athletes having to put medals around their own necks — but that idea had seemingly been scrapped in Beijing. Instead, athletes have been seen awarded Pandas on the podium.
ZHANGJIAKOU, China : Few people were surprised when Finland's Iivo Niskanen won the 15km classic race at the Beijing Olympics, but those who looked beyond the podium may have been shocked to see Ireland as the sixth nation on the list with their man in 14th place.
BEIJING : Japanese figure skater Kaori Sakamoto said on Friday that she feels the pressure of doing quadruple jumps as more Russian skaters successfully land them, a day after winning the bronze in the women's singles at the Beijing Olympics.
YANQING, China : Mikaela Shiffrin will bounce back from her miserable medalless Olympic Games and return to the peak of Alpine skiing, double gold medalist Michelle Gisin had predicted.
BEIJING: Olympic chief Thomas Bach said on Friday (Feb 18) it had been "chilling" to witness Russian teenage skater Kamila Valieva crumble under pressure at the Beijing Olympics as a doping scandal continued to swirl, hitting out at the 15-year-old's entourage.
