Eileen Gu Captures Gold in Thrilling Olympic Win

MILAN

Eileen Gu made it six medals in six career Winter Olympic events on Sunday, successfully defending her ski halfpipe title on the final day of the Milan Cortona Games.

The victory adds another gold to the freestyle skier’s perfect Olympic record and sets the stage for a high-stakes finale: the men’s hockey gold medal game between the United States and Canada.

The day will also feature finals in bobsled, curling, and cross-country skiing before the Games officially draw to a close.

The closing ceremony begins at 8:30 p.m. local time (1930 GMT, 2:30 p.m. ET).

The 2½-hour spectacle will celebrate Italian music and dance, both classic and contemporary, with performances from internationally acclaimed ballet dancer Roberto Bolle, popular singer Achille Lauro, and DJ Gaby Ponte.
