Snow Postpones Freeski Final: Brown Aims for Historic Medal
22 Feb
Summary
- Freeski halfpipe final postponed due to heavy snow in Livigno.
- Indra Brown, 16, could become Australia's youngest Winter Olympian.
- Danielle Scott's team narrowly missed an aerials medal in fourth place.
The freeski halfpipe final at the Winter Olympics has been postponed to Sunday night AEDT because of heavy snowfall in Livigno. This delay provides a final opportunity for 16-year-old Indra Brown, who could become Australia's youngest ever Winter Olympics medallist.
In the mixed team aerials, Australian Danielle Scott achieved a lifetime best run but her team ultimately finished fourth, narrowly missing a medal. The team, comprising Scott, Abbey Willcox, and Reilly Flanagan, qualified third but fell short in the final against stronger male-dominated lineups. Their score of 289.04 from an earlier run would have secured bronze.
Australia's most successful Winter Games is drawing to a close, with the freeski halfpipe final representing one last chance for a medal. Bree Walker finished 10th in the two-women bobsleigh, and Seve de Campo placed 41st in the cross-country skiing 50km classic. The team has already secured three gold, two silver, and one bronze medal.
