In the morning, after the snowfall, the Genting Ski Park blew a breeze. According to the official weather forecast, the gust speed of the race field even reached 9 meters per second. This weather has a great impact on the slope obstacle course of the skill category, and challenges each participant.

At 10 o'clock, according to the re-drawing order, Gu Ailing, a Chinese player who has won a gold medal in this Winter Olympics, appeared first. Due to a flaw in landing while passing through the second prop, she ranked 11th in the first round with a score of 57.28 points. In the second round of the competition, Gu Ailing moved cleanly and neatly, and finally advanced to the final with a score of 79.38 points and the third place in the qualifiers.

The competition is fierce, and France's Tess Ludd, who has just won the runner-up on the women's big jump, and Kelly Sildaru, Estonia's "talented girl", are competing for the final spot. After qualifying as first place, Kelly Sildaru said she would focus on her performance and not focus too much on her opponents.

Another Chinese teenager, Yang Shuorui, was ranked 23rd after two rounds and unfortunately failed to qualify. After the game, she said that she could stand on the Field of the Winter Olympics, which was already a victory in itself. Yang Shuorui said that this trip to the Winter Olympics has gained a lot and will strive to "get a good result" in the next Winter Olympics.

Yang Shuorui admitted that although the freestyle ski slope obstacle course started late in China, it has successfully won the winter Olympic quota through efforts in recent years, and she believes that "the back (development) will not be bad."

The Beijing Winter Olympics Freestyle Skiing Women's Slope Steeplechase Final will be held on the morning of the 15th. (End)
