Voisin Fifth In Olympic Slopestyle Final
Maggie Voisin represented the women's freeski slopestyle team with poise on Tuesday, Feb. 15, finishing fifth overall in a heavy women's competition where gold and silver medals were separated by only 0.33 points. Switzerland's Mathilde Gremaud came out on top, followed by China's Eileen Gu. Estonia's Kelly Sildaru finished third with an 82.06.
"A fifth place among all these incredible women is a really great result," said Voisin . It was going to be tough to crack the top three that's for sure, so I'm really proud of myself and to be amongst all these amazing women pushing the sport."
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is Voisin's third Olympic appearance. She's only 23, and a veteran of the women's team. Despite her age, Voisin has been through hell and back to make it to her third games, after losing her brother to suicide a little over a year ago. She's been close to the Olympic podium before, and got a little taste of it on Tuesday when she waited for the rest of the field to lay down their third and final runs. She says she'll keep fighting to be on the Olympic podium until her body quits on her, whenever that may be.
"I've been through so much in the last four years to just even be at the Olympics to say the least," she said. "So of course, sitting in third for a minute thinking, 'oh man, can I hold on?' was kind of a crazy feeling. But at the end of the day, I have no regrets."
Halfpipe is the final competition on the women's freeski docket. Qualifying will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 16.
