Gu retains Olympic halfpipe title and sets medal record

Eileen Gu retained Olympic women’s freeski halfpipe gold in Livigno with 94.75 points, becoming the first woman to win consecutive titles. China’s Li Fanghui took silver on 93 points, while Britain’s Zoe Atkin won bronze with 92.50.

All three medallists improved on their final attempts. Gu had scored 94 on her second run before raising the winning mark again, while Li and Atkin also produced their highest scores in the decisive last round.

The title gave Gu three golds and three silvers across six Olympic starts, making her the most decorated Olympic freestyle skier. At Milano Cortina, she combined halfpipe victory with silver medals in both slopestyle and big air, completing another three-medal campaign.
