Muir fourth again after agonising tumble as Oldham wins big air gold for Canada
Briton, fourth again, says: ‘I really did have to go for it’
This time, Kirsty Muir must surely have believed that a Winter Olympic medal was in her grasp. But as a thrilling big air competition reached its denouement, an Italian with no anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee came down a 180‑feet ramp and drove a stake through the Briton’s heart.
It all looked so promising when the 21-year-old from Aberdeen landed a stunning left double 1620, with four and a half rotations, to move into the medal positions after two of the three rounds. However, with just four jumps of the competition remaining, Flora Tabanelli, who tore her ACL in November, did the same trick as Muir but only better to score 94.25 points to steal the bronze medal.

White gold is not what most of the Olympic athletes are generally looking for at the moment, but it arrived aplenty nonetheless. It was blower today across the Alps, though there were a fair few avalanches too. It was a good day for those of us with the morning off but it doesn't tend to make for ideal competition conditions. Unfortunately, by the time evening rolled around, it was blowy rather than blower, with wind sweeping through the Olympic venue. There was an hour-ish delay, featuring guys with snowblowers and other creative ways of getting rid of snow. Mathilde Gremaud and Anouk Andraska, both Swiss finalists, crashed in training and didn't make it to the start gate. It was a challenging day all around but the ladies put down a storming final nonetheless, it was super exciting right to the last jump.
