In her Olympic debut, Gu is setting her second gold goal at the Beijing 2022 in the halfpipe competition, which will start on Thursday.

The bronze medal went to Estonian young talent Kelly Sildaru who notched down 82.06 points in her first run. The 2020 Youth Olympic champion almost completed a perfect second run until the last landing in the sixth section ended with a ski detached from her left foot.

Without the ski, the 19-year-old still skied smoothly to the finishing area. But the score was only 46.71 points.

Marin Hamill of the United States, who had qualified for the final, did not start on Tuesday due to a knee injury in the second run of the qualification on Monday.
