It's an indescribable feeling (hearing the Brazilian anthem) There is nothing about today where I am in a cognitive state whatsoever. I feel completely connected to my heart, the light inside of me, and it was with a free and pure state of mind that I performed today. Lucas Pinheiro Braathen (BRA) reflects on victory

Freestyle Skiing Women's Freeski Big Air

Megan Oldham (CAN) topped Women’s Big Air qualification in Livigno completing the only run above 90 points in the 27-athlete field. Defending champion  Eileen Gu (CHN) and Mathilde Gremaud (SUI) followed closely, setting up a stacked final featuring all three Slopestyle medallists. Home hopes remain alive as Flora Tabanelli (ITA), competing with a torn ACL, advanced in sixth. With just 12 riders progressing, today’s final promises another spectacular showdown under the lights.

I'm really proud of myself for landing under pressure (on the third run). I had two tricks in mind that I wanted to land, and I was trying to tune out the background noise and focus on those tricks. I'm stoked with the outcome. Megan Oldham (CAN)
