China's freeski star Gu says Olympics scheduling 'unfair'

The reigning big air champion has qualified for Monday's final but as a result will miss halfpipe training, a discipline in which she also won gold at the Beijing 2022 Olympics. "I have asked for fair options like joining one training with the snowboarders, or getting even one hour alone to train, but to no avail," China's Gu posted on Instagram. "Halfpipe is different from slope(style) and big air, and demands its own training time accordingly." The 22-year-old said the scheduling in Italy appeared to contradict the spirit of the Olympics.
