Australia’s Jakara Anthony slips up and loses bid to defend moguls title at Winter Olympics
Jakara Anthony has sensationally flopped in her bid to defend her moguls title at the Milan-Cortina Olympics, the freestyle skiing great crashing out during her final run to miss out on the medals.
Australia’s hottest favourite for a medal at the entire Games had looked an overwhelming favourite to become the first winter athlete from her country ever to successfully defend an Olympic title.
Yet after dominating the rest of the competition, leading the field in qualifiers and after the first run of the final, it all went wrong in the decisive second outing.
The last to go, one of the most dominant athletes in winter sport lost control as she was speeding over the humps on the Livigno course, stumbling and eventually coming to a halt, looking dispirited.
Team USA dominates women's moguls podium, wins gold and silver at Olympics
LIVIGNO, Italy — Liz Lemley was certainly a medal contender entering the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics.
So "The Star Spangled Banner” played for the first time at the snow sports cluster in Livigno and Lemley took the top spot on the podium with teammate Jaelin Kauf, who won silver in the event for the second straight year, by her side.
Lemley’s blistering and technical final run resulted in a 82.30 and Kauf finished at 80.77. Australia’s Jakara Anthony, the defending Olympic champion, made a bad turn in the middle of the first run to clinch the top two podium spots for the USA. France's Perrine Laffont took the bronze medal home with a 78.00.
