Here’s How Much Winter Olympic Athletes Get From Their Country For Taking Home the Gold
Follow all the action from the Winter Olympics with six gold medals up for grabs on day 13.
China’s home favourite Eileen Gu moved a step closer to her goal of winning three medals at the Olympic Games as she blazed through the women’s freeski halfpipe qualifiers, recording both the top two scores. Meanwhile, Russian skater Kamila Valieva will have the eyes of the world on her as she attempts to win gold in Beijing despite a failed drugs test. The IOC has already confirmed that there will be no medal presentation ceremony if the 15-year-old holds onto top spot following Thursday’s free skate.
For Team GB, there will be a chance to finally secure a medal after Bruce Mouat’s rink defeated Canada to qualify for the semi-finals. They will face Team USA next for the chance to advance to the gold medal match. The women’s side, led by Eve Muirhead, must not only defeat the ROC in their final round robin match but then also hope results elsewhere fall their way if they are to make the playoffs.
