In the freestyle skiing big air competition at the Winter Youth Olympic Games in Gangwondo, 16-year-old Italian girl, Flora Tabanelli, won her second gold medal with a stellar performance, marking the pinnacle of the season.
Tabanelli's successful rise is reminiscent of Gu's dazzling performance at the previous Winter Youth Olympic Games. After winning two golds and one silver at the Lausanne 2020 Winter Youth Olympic Games, Tabanelli seems to have continued this glorious tradition and added glory to her country. This is the intersection of the growth trajectories of two ski girls, exuding the unique light of the Winter Youth Olympic Games.
Sixteen-year-old Tabanelli started freestyle skiing just three years ago. Her childhood in snow and ice was a colourful world of snowboarding, figure skating, gymnastics, surfing and skateboarding. These rich experiences are like a rich picture of her skiing skills, and have made her legendary path of rapid progress in a short period of time.
On the 28th, in the freestyle skiing big air competition at the Winter Youth Olympic Games in Gangwon-do, the young Italian girl turned into an ice and snow fairy and won the championship in one fell swoop. She may have started late, but her heart is getting higher and higher. Behind her is a family full of expectations, and her older brother, Miro Tabanelli, also finished fourth in the X Games big air competition on the same day.
We all have busy schedules, but whenever we have time, we talk and motivate each other. Tabanelli confessed. Although her love for freestyle skiing started late, she has become deeply involved in the competitive community in a short period of time. In the field, she won a gold medal, and in training, she became close friends with Germany's Miriel Mohr.
"It's a great feeling to practice freestyle skiing, the athletes are always together and you get a lot of joy even in training," Tabanelli revealed in an interview. Her words reveal a deep love for this challenging project.
It's a ski trip full of emotion and passion. Tabanelli is at the height of the starting point of her skiing dreams, paving a glorious path for her future with the Winter Youth Olympic title. Perhaps, the 2026 Winter Olympics will witness her more brilliant flying moments.
