The race is a 7.3-kilometer race that combines a downhill component with uphill sprints and an obstacle finish at the end, attracting 555 skiers and snowboarders.

The Sydneysider fell on the final jump of training and was taken off on a stretcher from the course on Friday, posting later in the day she'd made the call to withdraw. I've made the decision along with my medical and support team to pull from Slopestyle tomorrow in order to reset, refocus and channel my energy into Big Air, Thomas posted on Instagram. I am doing all good and am keen to get training for Big Air.

A friend and I went skiing on a very steep and icy slope (closed the previous day, during which the top layer of snow melted and froze again), I fell and didn't manage to slow down. I learned my lesson and I hope some of you will too! Be very careful on steep, icy slopes and learn how to self arrest! I got lucky and managed to get away with just a few bruises.

Aicher told German broadcaster ZDF that the course had been aggressive over every jump, and that she had initially not been able to work out how good her performance had been. "It just felt absolutely wild. Every jump kind of tore me apart," she said. "To be honest, I didn't think it would work out after the run." After learning about the medal, Aicher at first expressed frustration at narrowly missing gold before realizing the scale of her achievement.

Four years ago at Beijing 2022, Daniela Maier of Germany and Fanny Smith of Switzerland were the unwilling protagonists of a convoluted medal dispute. Smith had crossed the finish line in third ahead of Maier in fourth. But the race jury flipped the result after ruling Smith had interfered with Maier, despite both skiers disagreeing. Smith appealed against the jury's decision to the court of arbitration for sport (Cas), which overruled the officials' decision and deemed that bronze medals should be awarded to both skiers.
