Today at the Games: Zoe Atkin leads the way into Women’s Freeski Halfpipe Finals
Zoe Atkin delivered a statement performance to open her second Olympic Games, qualifying in top spot for the women’s Freeski Halfpipe finals.
The 23-year-old dominated the competition from the outset, stomping her first run to score a massive 91.50, with a commanding display of skill and composure.
Her run showcased her trademark left 540 mute to open the run, spinning in all four directions and closing things out with a switch right cork 720 safety.
Atkin’s qualification success continues what has already been an outstanding season. With four World Cup podiums, including two victories, she has underlined both her consistency and potential heading into her second Olympic finals.
After finishing ninth on her Olympic debut at Beijing 2022, Atkin now returns in career-best form and will be aiming to convert qualification dominance into a podium challenge.
The women’s Freeski Halfpipe finals will take place on Saturday 21st February at 18:30 GMT.
