Her dominance in the discipline rooted deeper into the hillside at Buttermilk as she won her fourth gold in the event Sunday afternoon and second of the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Commentators claim Sildaru\u2019s rail work was the difference, but even the skier said she isn\u2019t sure what makes her so successful in slopestyle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI don\u2019t know. I haven\u2019t figured it out yet,\u201d Sildaru said. \u201cI\u2019m just trying to enjoy it and have fun skiing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">On Friday, Sildaru took gold in the superpipe. With the wins, she now has nine X Games medals, tying Shaun White for most earned by a teenage athlete. With five golds, she is the sole holder of the most gold medals by any athlete 17 or younger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">She\u2019s also just the third athlete this weekend to walk away with a pair of gold medals, alongside unified snowboarder and snow biker Mike Schulz and skier Colby Stevenson who won both the ski knuckle huck and slopestyle competitions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Her second run was her strongest as she pulled out a rightside 900 with a mute grab, followed by a leftside 900 with a tail grab. She ended the run with a rightside 720 off the fin, the most rotation any skier got off the feature at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Swiss skier Sarah Hoefflin and Sildaru exchanged spots in the leader\u2019s seat until after the third trip down the course, when Sildaru took over for good.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Hoefflin sat in second place and tried to put down her best stuff for her last run, but couldn\u2019t stick the landing on her second jump. Her less-than-perfect run kept her in second.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">With just the defending champion left to drop in, Sildaru\u2019s final run was more of a victory lap. She didn\u2019t play it safe though, sticking a switch 1260 on the last jump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI just tried to enjoy the course and make the most of it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Hoefflin\u2019s silver brings her 2020 medal count to three, the most by any athlete as of Sunday afternoon. She earned bronze in unified skiing as well as ski big air.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The battle for third in slopestyle was dramatic, as Montana native Maggie Voisin and Isabel Atkin out of Park City went back and forth in the standings after each run. Sitting in a podium spot with one run remaining, Voisin \u201cupped her rail game\u201d with a 450 switch in her last pass through the course.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cToday was just the perfect day,\u201d the 21-year-old said. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s realizing sometimes in practice I\u2019m not going to put it all together, taking a deep breath and knowing that when the pressure is on, I have it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/teen-kelly-sildaru-earns-x-games-slopestyle-gold-holds-most-by-any-athlete-17-younger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kelly Sildaru stands at the bottom of the slopestyle course after winning the women\u2019s ski final on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2020.
