Ailing (Eileen) Gu's quest for historic third freeski medal in Beijing 2022 halfpipe final - Latest

Ailing (Eileen) Gu gets her bid for an historic third freeski medal underway shortly.

No freestyle skier has ever won three medals in three different events at an Olympic Winter Games previously. The Chinese star already has big air gold and slopestyle silver from Beijing 2022.

Now she's going in the women's freeski halfpipe final over the next couple of hours. Gu was the top scorer in qualifying, and will be the last to ski in each of the three runs. Check out her schedule of the day below.

We've got occasional strong gusts of wind and some light snow at the Genting Snow Park in Zhangjiakou, which could prove challenging for the skiers.

Training is underway, just before the competition gets started.

You can get run-by-run updates right here from 09:30 China Standard Time.

Freeski prodigy Gu may only be 18 years old and competing in her first Olympics, but she's the star of the show here in China, after winning her gold in the big air in Beijing. On 15 February she added a silver medal in the slopestyle competition in Zhangjiakou, finishing behind winner Mathilde Gremaud of Switzerland.

Gu was in imperious form in the qualifiers of the women's halfpipe competition, setting two scores in the 90s - the highest a whopping 95.50 - to top the leaderboard.

The halfpipe is the final event of Beijing 2022 for the two-time Youth Olympic Games (YOG) champion from Lausanne 2020.
