Kirsty Muir's Olympic dreams shattered in a heart-wrenching moment as she narrowly missed out on a medal in the Big Air competition. With a stunning double 1620, Muir was in the running for a podium finish, but an Italian competitor, Flora Tabanelli, with a torn ACL, delivered a flawless performance, stealing the bronze. Muir's fourth-place finish, despite her best efforts, left her with a bittersweet taste, as she now sets her sights on the 2030 Olympics. Meanwhile, Megan Oldham of Canada claimed the gold, with Eileen Gu of China taking the silver. In other news, Dave Ryding, a five-time Olympian, announced his retirement after a 17th-place finish in the men's slalom. Ryding's journey, from dodging sheep on a dry-ski slope to becoming Britain's greatest skier, is an inspiring tale of determination. Despite UK Sport's funding cuts, Ryding's legacy shines, and he now aims to mentor the next generation of British skiers. As the Olympics continue, the British curling teams face a battle to reach the semi-finals, while Ryding's parkrun personal best of 16min 54sec remains an ambitious goal.
