Eileen Gu, Kirsty Muir and Katie Summerhayes will have to wait for the chance to impress in the women’s freeski slopestyle after Sunday’s qualifiers were postponed due to bad weather. The first qualifying run had been set to start at 02:00 GMT but was initially delayed due to heavy snow – the first to fall in Beijing at the 2022 Winter Games.
Eileen Gu is one of the biggest breakout stars from the Beijing Winter Olympics. The freestyle skier had already made a name for herself in China by claiming X Games golds in the superpipe and slopestyle events last year and she now has an Olympic gold to add to her CV at just 18 years old.
Eileen Gu comforted a tearful Tess Ledeux after snatching the gold medal away from her in the women’s freestyle skiing big air final at Beijing 2022. The Chinese sensation, 18, trailed France’s Ledeux and Switzerland’s Mathilde Gremaud heading into the third and final jump but dropped a career-first double cork 1620 to catapult up the standings. Ad/> She reacted in disbelief after landing the trick, which she said she had never even attempted, as she secured China’s third gold medal of the Games.
The debut of women’s freeski big air at the 2022 Winter Olympics featured perhaps the best showing of women’s freeskiing in history.
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.
BEIJING: China's Eileen Gu got her maiden Olympics off to a dream start as the US born teenager landed a tricky jump to become the first freeski Big Air champion at the Beijing Games, taking the host country to the top of the medals table on Tuesday (Feb 8).
In her first Olympics appearance, Kirsty Muir finished fifth in the big air final after an impressive debut from the youngest Team GB athlete at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The 17-year-old scored a huge first run of 90.25 to propel herself to the top of the leaderboard, and followed it up with a decent second run worth 78.75, enough to maintain her pole position status.
