Eileen Gu Wins Olympic Halfpipe Gold on Final Day

Eileen Gu concluded her Winter Olympics campaign by winning gold in the women's halfpipe competition on February 22, 2026. This victory came hours before the closing ceremony.

Gu's dominant second and third runs in the halfpipe earned her scores of 94.00 and 94.75 respectively, securing the top position. She previously earned silver medals in both the big air and slopestyle events. This impressive performance solidifies her status as the most decorated women's freestyle skier of all time, with six medals across six events.

While Gu faced challenges early in her runs throughout the Games, she consistently delivered strong performances in the finals. Her success in Livigno, Italy, mirrors her achievements at the Beijing Winter Olympics four years prior, where she also won two gold and a silver medal.
