A rough start for Guseli
Not a great start for Australia’s Valentino Guseli in the men’s snowboarding big air final, who scores a 23.00 with his first run.
Things were looking pretty good in the air, rough landing did for him there.
Can’t be easy opening things up in a final.
However, things are far from over for the Aussie – every competitor is guaranteed three runs.

What a story it has already been for Val Guseli at these Games.
Only granted a wildcard position in the competition a matter of hours before qualifying, the 20-year-old conjured one of the moments of the tournament so far when he snuck into the final 12 with a jaw-dropping leap.
He’ll be on first in the final, which is only moments away.

Guseli’s blockbuster big air final not far off
As sunrise approaches in the eastern states, we move closer to today’s main event, from an Australian perspective at least: Valentino Guseli in the men’s snowboard big air final.
The 20-year-old wildcard is only in the final courtesy of the most ridiculous of final leaps in the qualifying round, and will be hoping to spring an upset to earn Australia its first medal of these Games.
The men’s snowboard big air final gets underway at 5:30am AEDT. That’s about 15 minutes from now.
For those of you who missed that remarkable qualifying moment, our man in Italy, Simon Smale, has you covered.

Australian team officials have given the following update on injured aerial skier Laura Peel.
Laura Peel has travelled to Livigno to give herself the best chance of competing at the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic Winter Games.
On February 1 Peel sustained a significant knee injury. After an MRI, Peel received treatment under team physio at the aerials pre-Games training camp in Airolo Switzerland.
Being in Livigno with the Australian Olympic team medical staff maximises options to treat Peel and assess her ability to compete.
Peel will be working with Australian Olympic team medical staff on a staged progression of criteria based strength, stability and functional testing to pass medical clearance for jumping.
At this time the Australian Olympic team is supporting Laura and allowing the medical staff space to work through options with her.
Training begins on February 14. Competition starts February 17.

Great Britain has continued its red-hot form in the mixed doubles curling, seeing off a valiant United States fightback to claim a 6-4 victory.
The triumph makes it seven wins from seven to start the tournament for the Brits, who are now guaranteed a semi-finals berth.
With the top four nations from the ten team round robin phase progressing to the knockouts, the second-placed US is still well placed to advance, as are Canada and Italy, who sit in third and fourth respectively.
Sweden is looking the most likely side to break into the top four, after defeating Italy 9-4.
