Megan Oldham, a Canadian freestyle skier, celebrated a significant achievement by winning a bronze medal in the women's freeski slopestyle at the Olympics. This victory is not just a personal achievement for Oldham but also a realization of a childhood dream that she had set during a workshop at Momentum Ski Camp in Whistler, B.C. Oldham had previously idolized her mentor, Cassie Sharpe, who inspired her to set ambitious goals for her skiing career.

In her recollection, Oldham reflected on the goals she set as a teenager, which included the aspiration to perform complex tricks like the triple cork and to win an Olympic medal.
