Freestyle skier Kirsty Muir missed out on Great Britain’s first medal of the 2026 Winter Olympics by the narrowest of margins with a fourth-place finish in the women’s slopestyle.<\/b><\/p>\n

Muir scored 76.05 points with a brilliant third run, finishing only 0.41 behind Canadian bronze medallist Megan Oldham at Livigno Snow Park.<\/p>\n

Having fallen on the penultimate jump of her opening run, Muir sat in sixth after her second.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old brought out her best when it mattered, but it was not quite enough.<\/p>\n

“I put it out there on every run,” an emotional Muir told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n

“I was so proud to put one down. I struggled to accept how close it was, but I know I’ve got more in me.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a final that demonstrated the strength of women’s freestyle skiing, Mathilde Gremaud successfully defended her Olympic title by only 0.38 points.<\/p>\n

China’s Eileen Gu – arguably a bigger star off the slopes – took silver, but crashed on her final run to allow Gremaud a victory lap, a Switzerland flag tied around her neck, billowing in the wind as she soaked up her moment on the course.<\/p>\n

Muir is one of Team GB’s best medal hopes at the Milan-Cortina Games, and has another shot at the podium when she competes in the big air starting on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Four years ago in Beijing, Scotland’s Muir was GB’s youngest competitor at 17, but she finished fifth in the big air and eighth in the slopestyle.<\/p>\n

After Beijing Muir achieved three World Cup podiums, but in December 2023 an MRI scan showed she had been competing with a fully torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).<\/p>\n

An operation followed in early 2024, as well as surgery on a shoulder problem that had troubled her for some time.<\/p>\n

Eleven months later she was back on snow, and her maiden World Cup gold arrived in Tignes in March 2025.<\/p>\n

Two more have followed this season, as well as slopestyle gold and big air silver at the invitation-only X Games on the eve of the Olympics.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to look forward to big air, but I just need to take this one in,” Muir said.<\/p>\n

“I got to see my famly. They were hugging me a bit too tightly – I was getting a bit claustrophobic. They’re proud of me no matter what, so I can take that away.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
