Gremaud wins Olympic gold again, defeating Gu

Mathilde Gremaud won the Olympic gold in women's freestyle skiing park event, narrowly defeating Eileen Gu at the Milano Cortina Olympics.

Mathilde Gremaud of Switzerland claimed the gold medal in the women's freestyle skiing park event at the Milano Cortina Olympics with a score of 86.96 points, narrowly beating China's Eileen Gu, who finished with 86.58 points. Gu led after the first run with a score of 86.58, while Gremaud, the Beijing Olympic champion, was in second place with a score of 83.60. However, Gremaud's impressive second run propelled her to the top of the podium once again.

Both Gremaud and Gu faced challenges in their other runs, but Gremaud's performance secured her a repeated victory at the Olympics, as she won the gold in the previous games held in Beijing. For Gu, this was her second consecutive silver medal in the Olympics. In the previous Olympics in Beijing, the bronze medal was secured by Kelly Sildaru, who chose to focus solely on the slopestyle event in Milano Cortina, allowing Canada's Megan Oldham, who scored 76.46, to take the bronze this time.

The competition saw other notable performances, with Kirsty Muir from Britain, Liu Mengting from China, and Giulia Tanno from Switzerland also making it to the final round, showcasing the strength and talent in women's freestyle skiing at the Olympic level. The achievement for Gremaud not only highlights her skill but also poses her as a prominent figure in the future of the sport.
