Mathilde Gremaud Denies Eileen Gu Olympic Gold in Freeski Slopestyle Again
Mathilde Gremaud continues to make headlines in the world of freeskiing, having recently denied Eileen Gu Olympic gold in the Freeski Slopestyle event for the second time. The competition took place during the 2026 Winter Olympics, where Gremaud secured another narrow victory over Gu.

Gremaud, who celebrated her 26th birthday just a day before the final, edged out Gu by a mere 0.38 points this year.

Medal Standings

Gremaud has a commendable track record, boasting a silver medal in slopestyle from the 2018 Winter Games and a bronze in big air at the 2022 Olympics. Furthermore, she is a two-time world champion in slopestyle, winning titles in both 2023 and 2025. Her impressive collection of accolades showcases her prowess in the sport.
Eileen Gu’s Challenges
Eileen Gu, who was born in the United States and competes for China, faced difficulties during the finals. She encountered the same rail that caused her to fall during the qualifying rounds, leading to a disappointing end for the young star. In both instances, her jumps concluded with falls into the snow, diminishing her chances for gold.
Gu’s Previous Achievements
At the 2022 Beijing Games, Gu skyrocketed to fame, securing three medals, including a gold in freeski halfpipe and another in big air. As she looks forward to defending her titles, the pressure remains high on the emerging star.
Understanding Freeski Slopestyle
Freeski Slopestyle is a thrilling event where competitors execute acrobatic tricks across a course featuring rails and jumps. Scores are determined based on the difficulty and execution of the tricks performed during the best jump out of three attempts. This format adds an element of strategy and precision to the competition.
