British freestyle skier Kirsty Muir finished fourth in the women’s big air final at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Livigno, narrowly missing out on a medal. She delivered one of the highest individual jump scores with a double cork 1620 but was overtaken in the final round by competitors from Canada, China and Italy. This was the second time at these Games that the 21-year-old from Aberdeen narrowly missed the podium, having also placed fourth in the slopestyle final. Muir said her result was “bittersweet” after going for a trick she had not landed before and giving her best effort.
