Freestyle skier Mathilde Gremaud, Olympic champion in Beijing, wins the silver medal in her gold discipline, slopestyle, at the X Games in Aspen. Only 21-year-old Megan Oldham can beat the Freiburg native. The Canadian had already won the Big Air. Sarah Höfflin from Geneva has to make do with 7th place.
The X-Games 2023 claimed a prominent victim. China’s freestyle ski star Eileen Gu fell badly in training. The two-time Olympic champion in Beijing suffered a severe strain on the inner collateral ligament, a strain on the anterior cruciate ligament and a bruise, as she announced on Instagram.
The US-born Gu made a successful comeback to competition last weekend with two wins in the halfpipe at the World Cup in Calgary. (SDA)
