Eileen Gu Wins Snow League Halfpipe Gold

Eileen Gu, the American-born, Chinese-competing freeskier, secured her first Snow League halfpipe skiing championship with a gold medal win in Laax, Switzerland. This victory, following her Olympic triumphs in Milan Cortina, solidifies her as the only freeskier with medals in all six Olympic events across two Games. Gus halfpipe dominance, with fifteen of her twenty World Cup titles coming from this event, was further highlighted by her pioneering win in Shaun Whites new league. Her achievement earned her a $75,000 prize, while Luke Harrold, the mens counterpart, matched her feat with a gold medal and season title win. Tomorrow, snowboarders will conclude the leagues inaugural season, with Yuto Totsuka holding a slim lead over Ryusei Yamada.
