Atkin wins halfpipe bronze for Team GB’s fifth medal

Freestyle skier Zoe Atkin won bronze in the women’s halfpipe to secure Great Britain’s fifth medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics, equalling the team’s record-best haul.

The 23-year-old had already secured a medal when she jumped into the pipe for her final run and, with the pressure off, improved her score to 92.50 – just half a point shy of silver medal position.

China’s global superstar Eileen Gu won gold, her first of these Games after two silvers, with 94.75, while compatriot Li Fanghui took silver.
