Eileen Gu wins halfpipe gold, third Olympic medal
China's Eileen Gu dominated the halfpipe to win gold and claim her third freeski medal of this year's Winter Olympics.
Gu's first two runs featured her signature amplitude and were packed full of technical tricks. The highest-scoring run, her second one, included back-to-back cork 900s up top and back-to-back alley-oop flatspin 540s at the bottom. With the win already locked up, she was able to use her final run to cruise through the pipe for a victory lap.
The win solidifies Gu's status as one of the stars of these Games. Competing for the host nation, she's earned two golds (big air, halfpipe) and a silver (slopestyle) and at 18 years old, promises to be an all-around force for years to come.
A pair of Canadians, 2018 gold medalist Cassie Sharpe and Rachael Karker, took the other spots on the medal stand behind Gu, while Estonian Kelly SIldaru, the slopestyle bronze medalist, finished fourth and narrowly missed the podium. Hanna Faulhaber was the top U.S. finisher in sixth place. Brita Sigourney, the 2018 bronze medalist, finished 10th, and Carly Margulies, who is competing this week for the first time since 2019, took 11th.
