With Eileen Gu, the favorite to win the competition and leading halfway, it required a monumental effort from the Swiss skier Gremaud. The 22-year-old qualified for the final by finishing 12th. However, all her plans did not come to fruition after her first run as she lost her ski.
However, coming back from behind, Gremaud knocked Gu out of the gold medal position and scored 86.56. While Gu was lingering down in eighth place, she too made a comeback and claimed the silver medal. She scored 86.23 in her final run.
