Yoo Seung-eun, an 18-year-old snowboarder from South Korea, was set to compete in the women's slope style finals at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. However, the event has been postponed due to heavy snowfall in Livigno, where the finals were scheduled to take place. The organizing committee announced that the finals will be rescheduled, with new dates and times to be determined later today.

The postponement was confirmed by the Olympic Committee, stating that adverse weather conditions made it unsafe for the athletes to compete. The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) is set to hold a meeting to discuss the new schedule, reflecting the priorities of athlete safety and ensuring fair conditions for all competitors. This situation underscores the unpredictable nature of winter sports events and the necessity for flexibility in scheduling.

Despite the setback, Yoo Seung-eun is in good form, having recently won a bronze medal in women's big air at the same contest. Her compelling performance in the slope style qualification rounds, where she secured a place in the finals with a score of 76.80 points, has raised expectations for her potential to medal in this event as well. This postponement provides both a challenge and an opportunity for her to refine her skills ahead of the finals now pending rescheduling.
