Jakara Anthony🥇. Tess Coady 🥉. For the first time in Winter Olympics history, Australia claimed two medals on the same day! 🟢🟡 Beijing2022 MORE:
Jakara Anthony capped off Australia’s greatest ever day at the Winter Olympics with the nation’s sixth ever gold medal, hours after Tess Coady claimed a brilliant bronze.
Ash was below her qualifying level in the first final, recording a 70.47 to sit fifth with eight of 20 skiiers having completed their runs. American Olivia Giaccio then joined her at the top of the pile with a 78.37, before compatriot Jaelin Kauf sped her way to a 79.32. Midway through the second final, Canadian Sofiane Gagnon joined her compatriot Justine Dufour-Lapointe in crashing out, before two women in a row - reigning bronze medallist Yuliya Galysheva and American Kai Owens - lost it late in their runs.
Anri Kawamura’s 77.12 was surprisingly low but again no woman had reached the 80s, as Anthony did in all three of her previous runs. Having watched many of her competitors fall — including Kiwi Zoi Sadowski-Synnott — Coady was clean on her third and final run, ending it with a perfect frontside double cork 1080.
Coady managed to articulate herself enough to describe her mentality when going into the run, given all of the heartbreak from four years ago.
