Gu’s new silver sets freestyle skiing record for women

China’s Eileen Gu added another Olympic medal to her collection on Monday, taking a silver in the big air event with two impressive jumps that made her the most decorated woman in the history of freestyle skiing.

The 22-year-old Gu earned silver in slopestyle at the Milano Cortina Games a week ago. At Beijing in 2022, she won golds in big air and halfpipe plus a silver in slopestyle.

“Five-time Olympic medallist has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?” Gu said late on Monday as her newest medal hung around her neck.
