Gu Ailing "bummed" about FIS training schedule after reaching Olympic big air final


LIVIGNO, Italy, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- After advancing to the women's big air final Saturday here at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing voiced frustration with the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS), saying the event schedule unfairly overlaps with her halfpipe training time.

"The one thing I'm a little bummed about is that now I've made finals, the [big air] final is actually completely overlapping with my halfpipe training, completely three hours - and this actually happened at the last Olympics," said Gu, who won gold medals in big air and halfpipe at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
