Women’s Freeski Slopestyle qualifying: While qualifying continues, Team GB’s Kirsty Muir has booked her place among the 12 women who will contest Monday’s final with a score of 64.98, the third best of the day so far. China’s Eileen Gu will also be in the final despite a disastrous first run this morning that earned her a score of 1.26.
Men’s Downhill: The top three are separated by 0.5 of a second as one competitor after another hurtles down what is ostensibly a horizontal sheet of ice at speeds of up to 90 miles per hour. At one point, Italy’s Giovanni Franzoni took off and flew over 50 metres through the Italian morning sky before his skis touched the ground again. It is phenomenal, truly terrifying sport.
