Zoi Sadowski-Synnott produced a clutch performance to win the silver medal in the women’s slopestyle final at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.

The 24-year-old was fourth as she began her final run at Livigno Snow Park, needing to improve on her score of 77.61 by 1.17 points to move into the medals and by a whopping 10.22 points to move up to first-equal.

She ultimately improved by 9.87 points and scored 87.48 – missing out on winning back-to-back gold medals in the event by just .35 points.

Japan’s Mari Fukada won gold while her countrywoman Kokomo Murase won bronze.

The US And Australia Must Lead the Minerals Race

We must ensure the materials of modern life are sourced, processed, and refined under the stewardship of free nations. If not, we risk ceding the foundations of our prosperity and defense to those who would use them as leverage. The stakes are high for our economies, militaries and the free world.
