At the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, South Korean snowboarder Yu Seung-eun finished third in the women's slopestyle qualifications at Livigno Snow Park, securing her spot in the final. She performed two runs, with her best score of 76.80 points advancing her among the top 12 competitors. The final is set for Tuesday, and qualification scores will not carry over.
Yu earned a surprise bronze medal in the women's big air event last Monday. Slopestyle involves performing tricks down a course with obstacles like rails and jumps, judged on originality, amplitude, and quality of moves. Judges award 'section' scores for technical tricks and 'composition' scores for overall flow.
No South Korean snowboarder has won multiple medals at a single Winter Olympics. Yu's performance offers a chance to make history for her country. (Yonhap)
