The Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics are reaching their conclusion, with only a few final events remaining. One of the standout athletes to watch in these final days is Chinese freestyle skiing sensation Eileen Gu. Scheduled for the last day of the Games on Sunday, February 22, 2026, are the finals for various events including four-man heats, women’s 50km mass start classic, women’s curling gold medal match, and men’s ice hockey gold medal match.
However, one event that fans are particularly looking forward to is the women’s freeski halfpipe final, where Eileen Gu will be competing. Gu has already secured two silver medals in slopestyle and big air at the Winter Olympics in Italy, making her a strong contender for the gold in the halfpipe event.
Originally scheduled for Saturday, February 21, 2026, the women’s freeski halfpipe final was postponed due to heavy snowfall in the Italian Alps. The event will now take place on Sunday, February 22, 2026, at the Livigno Snow Park from 10:40 to 12:15 CET. Fans can catch all the action live on NBC or Peacock.
In the qualifying round, Gu finished in fifth place with a score of 86.50, setting the stage for an exciting final competition. She will be up against tough competition from athletes like Zoe Atkin (GBR), Li Fanghui (CHN), Cassie Sharpe (CAN), and others. Gu’s impressive performance at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, where she won three gold medals, has solidified her reputation as one of the best freestyle skiers in the world.
With her two silver medals in Italy, Gu has now become the most decorated female Olympic freestyle skier in history, adding to her already impressive list of achievements. As fans eagerly await the women’s freeski halfpipe final, all eyes will be on Eileen Gu as she aims to add another gold medal to her collection.
