Eileen Gu Defends Her Halfpipe Title

Having won halfpipe gold for China at Beijing 2022 on home snow, Eileen Gu repeated the feat at Cortina — becoming the first freestyle skier to win consecutive Olympic gold medals in halfpipe. Her winning run included a 1260 — 3.5 rotations — on her third hit, a score that broke the Olympic record by 4 points. At 22, she is already considered the greatest freestyle skier of all time. She also won silver in big air, adding to her record-breaking Olympic medal collection.
