Zoe Atkin achieved a commendable bronze medal in the women's freeski halfpipe at the 2026 Winter Olympics, earning a score of 92.50 in a thrilling competition. The event faced delays due to heavy snowfall in Livigno, but Atkin's performance solidified her status as one of the top contenders despite finishing behind two Chinese athletes, Eileen Gu and Li Fanghui. Atkin's hopes for a gold medal were high, particularly after her success as the previous year's world champion.

This medal adds to Team GB’s favorable standing in the Winter Olympics, marking a total of two golds and three silvers. It also showcases Atkin's unique background as an American-born athlete who has chosen to represent Great Britain, credited to her British father. Her family also holds a legacy in Olympic sports, as her sister Izzy previously earned a bronze medal, thereby enhancing their family's sports profile on an international stage.

Zoe's achievement has been well-received, with fellow athletes celebrating her performance and the season's challenges, underscoring the resilience required in winter sports competitions. As the Winter Olympics conclude, Atkin's bronze signifies not just personal achievement, but also the growing strength and presence of Team GB in winter sporting events.
