Megan Oldham and Naomi Urness have showcased impressive performances at the Milan Cortina Olympics, securing their places in the women's slopestyle final after intense qualifying rounds. Oldham, hailing from Parry Sound, Ontario, achieved a score of 61.09 points, enough to place her seventh in the qualifier. Urness, who originates from Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, faced a challenging start but elevated her score significantly to ensure her spot in the final, marking her first appearance in a slopestyle final outside of the X Games.

Oldham's qualification is especially noteworthy as she comes off a bronze medal win at the 2025 FIS freestyle world championships and currently ranks third on the World Cup circuit. Despite finishing her first run in a solid fourth place position, she was unable to improve her score in the second run but still managed to secure her advance to the finals due to her strong performance. Previously, Oldham finished 13th at the Beijing Games, making this progression a significant milestone in her Olympic journey.

For Urness, competing in her first Olympics, Saturday's results not only highlight her determination but also serve as a stepping stone in her professional career. She started the qualifiers in a lower position but managed to pull ahead after needing to improve her score by over six points in the second run. The competition had additional challenges, as fellow Canadian competitors Skye Clarke and Elena Gaskell faced falls during their runs, underscoring the high stakes and competitive nature of slopestyle skiing events.
