Controversial skier Eileen Gu settles for silver after defending gold medal bid falls short in Milan

Eileen Gu, the controversial big air skiing star who competes for China despite being American-born, was unable to defend her gold medal on Monday night at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games.

Gu came away with the silver medal in the women’s freeski big air competition, while Canada’s Megan Oldham won gold.

Gu notched a 90.00 on her first run, which was tied on the list of competitors for third place, as Oldham and Austria’s Lara Wolf had better scores.
