Megan Oldham grabs slopestyle silver for 2nd freestyle skiing world medal

Megan Oldham of Parry Sound, Ont., shone again at the freestyle skiing world championships, capturing a silver medal in women's slopestyle on Tuesday after finishing 2-10ths of a point behind Mathilde Gremaud of Switzerland.

Third after scoring 80.88 on her first run in the big final, Oldham took advantage when Norway's Johanne Killi and Gremaud struggled, earning 87.75 from the judges for her second and final run in Bakuriani, Georgia.

"It's amazing to be here at the world championships, to have skied well and to be going home with the silver medal," Oldham, who collected bronze in her 2021 debut at worlds, told Freestyle Canada. "It was a difficult week because of the weather, so I'm really happy with my result.

"It was very windy, so I tried to stay focused during training and work on the things I could control. Luckily, it's nice out today, and I was able to pull it all together and put down a good run."

The qualifying rounds were postponed twice due to poor weather.

Gremaud stood atop the medal podium on Tuesday, thanks to a stellar opening run that scored 87.95. Killi racked up 84.71 points for bronze.
