LIVIGNO, Italy, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- Birk Ruud of Norway delivered a commanding opening run to capture the men's freestyle skiing slopestyle gold medal Tuesday here at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics.
Ruud posted 86.28 points on his first attempt and was never overtaken, securing his second Olympic title after winning big air gold at Beijing 2022. The two-time world champion's near-flawless run proved decisive in a final marked by mistakes across the course.
