Winter Olympics 2026 is heating up with a must-watch rivalry in women's freestyle skiing! Estonia's Kelly Sildaru, fresh off her recovery from injury, is set to challenge defending champion Eileen Gu in the halfpipe finals this week. 🏔️
Gu, who already snagged two silvers at this year's Games, aims to add another gold to her collection after dominating Beijing 2022 with two golds and a silver. But Sildaru—a Slopestyle bronze medalist four years ago—is laser-focused on her first halfpipe Olympic victory. ❄️
"This season feels like a comeback story," Sildaru told CGTN's Dan Williams during training in Livigno. With both athletes pushing the limits of aerial tricks, this showdown promises gravity-defying drama. Tune in to see who'll ride the pipe to glory! 🥇
