Milan-Cortina 2026: Freeski Halfpipe Women Results

Eileen Gu’s winning run reset the podium order late, turning a tight final into a China one two at the top. Her 94.75 held off Li Fanghui’s 93.00, extending Gu’s position as the division’s benchmark performer across major championships.

Li’s silver is a defining result for China’s next wave in halfpipe. She matched Gu’s consistency through the final and finished within two points, signaling a narrowing gap at the top of the field and a rising medal threat in future World Cup and championship finals.

Zoe Atkin’s 92.50 delivered Great Britain another top tier halfpipe result after she had set the early standard in the event week. With qualification form at the front of the pack and a medal in the final, Atkin reinforced her status as Gu’s most reliable challenger when execution margins decide the podium.

The final was shaped by weather disruptions and shifting momentum across runs, rewarding athletes who stayed clean under changing conditions. The podium scores reflect a compressed top three, where amplitude and difficulty were separated by small execution details rather than major mistakes.

1. Eileen Gu, China, 94.75
2. Fanghui Li, China, 93.00
3. Zoe Atkin, United Kingdom, 92.50
