Megan Oldham claims gold in freeski big air at the Milan Cortina Games, defeating defending champion Eileen Gu, who takes silver. Oldham scores 180.75 points from her two jumps, while Gu finishes with 179. Italy’s Flora Tabanelli secures bronze just four months post-ACL tear. This marks Oldham’s second medal of the Games; she previously won bronze in slopestyle. Gu, competing for China, has five Olympic medals across two appearances, including a silver in slopestyle last week. She aims for a sixth medal Saturday in the halfpipe. Oldham secures her victory early, despite a fall on her final jump, which serves as a victory lap. The final field shrinks to ten after Switzerland's Mathilde Gremaud and Anouk Andraska sustain injuries in practice. Monday's final faces over an hour delay due to a snowstorm.
