AdvertisementOldham led the standings after landing a left-sided double cork 1260 on her second run for a score of 89.00. She also revealed after her victory that she trained in pain for the big air, as a crash in last week’s slopestyle final resulted in a hematoma in her quadriceps. Gu’s mom, Yan, called a team meeting the day after her slopestyle silver medal and skipped straight to Gu’s third event, halfpipe, omitting the big air event. She was awarded 89.00, enough to climb from seventh after the second run to the silver medal position but still short of Oldham’s total. Eileen Gu followed her slopestyle second-place finish with a second silver of the Games to become the most decorated female Olympian in freestyle skiing history.
