British teenager Mia Brookes has already won the world title, however she failed to qualify for today's slopestyle final, which has just begun - after finishing an agonising fourth in the big air last week. Yet she is a diamond on the British books and one of the biggest names in her sport.

Only USA's Alysa Liu broke up Japan's trio of Ami Nakai, Kaori Sakamoto and Mone Chiba, who finished first, second and fourth after the short program.

Japan won its first Olympic pairs gold and Georgia earned its first Winter Games medal at Milan Cortina 2026, rewriting figure skating history.

Ami Nakai topped the women’s short program Tuesday at the Milano-Cortina Olympics. Landing a huge triple Axel, Nakai edged out world champions Alysa Liu and Kaori Sakamoto, while Amber Glenn struggled again on Olympic ice.

In her final Olympic appearance, Japan's Kaori Sakamoto will be facing some stiff competition from her own teammates at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Games.

MILAN (AP) — Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara thought their chances of Olympic gold had gone by the wayside when the Japanese skaters made an uncharacteristic slip-up during their short program at the Milan Cortina Games.

Japan has set a new record for the most medals in its history by winning its 19th medal at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics, surpassing its previous best of 18 medals from the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
