Birk Ruud GOLDEN again! 🇳🇴🎿 | Best of Men's Freestyle Skiing Slopestyle | Milano Cortina 2026

Final runs here in your men's free ski slope style. Luca Harrington the Kiwi in 11th is one spot from the cellar. And here he is dropping in. Luca Harrington starting off on the down flat down with a huge disaster on. Into the rainbow with that switch two to forward. Into this trap rail that front swap over the flat making it through clean one more rail left. That screaming seaman he's put it down for three runs and three more jumps left. What does he have starting off with this switch left double 18. Looking over that right shoulder for the switch right. Going for it again the triple he puts it down this time. This last jump left into the money boot or winding up for the double and yes. He does it he puts it down. I think he's in disbelief himself that he just did that. A huge disaster on that two off he just lands so perfectly underneath those bindings. That front swap gapping that flat into another front swap continuing 450 out. And this cannon rail that screaming seaman. But it was these jumps this is where he feels the most confident. This switch double 18 with the Japan. No hands have touched into the switch right triple. Having that hand throughout all three flips showing that control. And it was this last and final jump what we call the money booter. That exclamation point on that run and look how high he is. And all the way down in 11th place trying to climb out of the cellar on his third and final run. The Kiwis going crazy. Score coming in 85 15th in the third place for Luca Harrington. That's a bronze medal position. Andre Rogetli will be bumped down. Alex has accomplished every major thing there is in skiing. And yet he's still producing and here he is dropping into his second run. Locking into that down flat down rail. So difficult it's so tall. Into the second down rail and now into this transfer rail. That three swap to Pretzel 2. He's just dancing out there finding his rhythm and his groove. Coming into the teardrop with that three swap Pretzel 4. He made it through the jib section and now into the jumps. Starting off with this left double 16. Into the switch left double 14. And what does he have for us? Into the money booter Alex Hall. Winding up double Japan and putting it down. Alex Hall on run number two. Coming out swinging. Let's take a look at the highlights of this one. He starts off with a switch lip 2. And he's getting through that whole down flat down. You can see he's locked in when he starts wobbling to the tips of his skis. This transfer rail. He kind of does like a 50-50. Starts his front swap a little early. Adding that little extra style and Alex Hall flair. Made it through the jib section and into the jumps. He's ripping that mute grab to his back. That first 16 into the switch left double 14. Getting that Japan grab. You can see his white gloves on those colorful bases. And then this money booter just grabbing that double Japan for the pullback. No touch. The number three spot. Defending gold medalist. 85.75 in the second place for Alex Hall. We are talking about the 25-year-old Kirk Rude. 25 World Cup podiums on course. Starting off with that switch 4. Continuing 4 on that down flat down rail. Coming in for the 4 on Pretz 2. He is switch 3 up. Wow. Making it through those first two rails. What does he have for us coming into this cannon? Just that Tokyo drift starting on the takeoff of that last rail. And he made it through the jib section. And now just three jumps left. Winding up for the switch double 18. Into the left double 16 with that tail grab. And what does he have for us coming off this last jump? Putting it down. Burke Rude. That is why he qualified first. Are you kidding me? Let's watch the replays of this one. He does this 450 on Pretzel 2 on that second down rail. But here's where he bumped his game up. He did that switch 3 up. Switch 2 onto the down rail. You see him locking in. Adding that little extra shifty in there. Showcasing his control on these rail features. And that cannon rail. But starts off so strong in this jump section. This switch right double 18. Holding that safety throughout the rotation. You can see his hand on that base of the ski. His eyes moving forward looking for that landing. And this last jump. He does a nose butter off that takeoff. The nose butter dub. Grabbing safety. Double 12. And look at his amplitude. And an 86 to wait. Say hello to your new leader. Rude Boy. Top spot. You do not want to leave it open for him.
