China's freeski superstar Gu Ailing landed her second medal at the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics in Italy, after overcoming tough weather conditions to bag a silver medal in the women's big air final at the Livigno Snow Park on Monday.
Entering the 12-skier final, which was delayed by an hour due to a blizzard, Gu held her nerve and stomped a clean third run after a false landing on her second attempt, scoring 89 points to bring her total to 179 points with her first run and secure second on the podium.
Canada's Games debutant Megan Oldham landed two solid runs from her first two attempts to score 180.75 points to take the gold, while local favorite Flora Tabanelli rounded up the podium by winning bronze on 178.25 points.
