Defending Olympic champion Eileen Gu has taken silver in freeski big air at the Milan Cortina Games. Canada’s Megan Oldham won the gold medal on Monday. Oldham topped the 10-woman final with a combined score of 180.75 points from two jumps. Gu was next with 179. Italy’s Flora Tabanelli took bronze while competing with an injured ACL. This is the second medal for the 24-year-old Oldham at these Winter Games. She won bronze in freeski slopestyle last week. Gu also won silver in slopestyle and still has her best event, the halfpipe.
Small margins are deciding gold medals at the Milan Cortina Olympics. Eileen Gu had to settle for her second silver medal in defense of her big air ski freestyle title and Elana Meyers Taylor of the U.S. finally won bobsled gold in her fifth Olympics. Also on Day 10 of the Winter Games, a Norwegian contender’s emotional reaction overshadowed the last men’s Alpine ski event and the United States won its women’s hockey semifinal game. Canada plays next, which could set up yet another gold-medal decider between the old rivals.
