“Zoe Atkin delivered a strong opening run to secure an early lead in the final.”
Great Britain’s Zoe Atkin secured a silver medal at the FIS Freeski Halfpipe World Cup at Secret Garden in Zhangjiakou, China. She set the early pace in the final with an impressive first run, earning 90.25 points and briefly leading the competition.
However, home favourite Eileen Gu produced a high-quality second run to score 91.75 and claim the gold medal. Australia’s Indra Brown completed the podium by taking bronze, marking a notable achievement in her World Cup debut.
The silver medal adds another strong result to Atkin’s World Cup career and highlights her consistency at the highest level. The performance also provides a positive boost as she continues her preparations for the remainder of the World Cup season and upcoming major international events.
