Freestyle Skiing
tItaly's Flora Tabanelli won her second freestyle skiing gold at the Winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG) Gangwon 2024, winning big the Big Air title on Sunday (28 January)
Having won the slopestyle crown earlier in these Youth Olympics, Tabanelli scored a total of 180.0 points with her first two runs, which was enough to beat Australia's Daisy Thomas (172.75) into silver position. Muriel Mohr of Germany claimed bronze (166.0).
Opening Ceremony flagbearer Tabanelli is following in the footsteps of Chinese freeskier Eileen Gu, who claimed YOG gold Big Air at Lausanne 2020 in addition to halfpipe gold and slopestyle silver. Gu went on to win those titles at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, and Italian fans will hope Tabanelli repeats that feat at the Milano Cortina Games in 2026.
In the men's event, Charlie Beatty took the gold for Canada with a score of 177.75. Beatty had missed out on a medal in the slopestyle when he failed to put down a clean run, but was delighted to have topped the podium. Japan's Olly Nicholls was second, with Luke Harrold of New Zealand claiming bronze.
The Snowboard big air medal events saw more success for Canada, with Eli Bouchard winning the men's crown. Japan celebrated victory in the women's event.
