World champion freestyle skier Finley Melville Ives is "stable and positive" following a hard fall during men's freeski halfpipe qualifying at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics on Friday. It was the second serious incident in two days in freestyle skiing after Cassie Sharpe's fall during the women's halfpipe qualifying on Thursday.

From Lindsey Vonn and Breezy Johnson to Zoi Sadowski-Synnott and Eileen Gu, the stories of women doing incredible things at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics are abundant.

Zoi Sadowski-Synnott makes history as New Zealand's first five-time Olympic medalist in snowboarding, marking a significant rise in the nation's winter sports prominence.

A statement from Charles and Camilla said those who did not reach the podium can ‘return home with proud hearts and heads held high’.
