Kelly Sildaru

Sildaru won a gold medal in the slopestyle event in the 2016 Winter X Games beating Tiril Sjåstad Christiansen.[1] With this win, at age 13, Sildaru became the youngest gold medalist to date at a Winter X Games event, and the first person to win a Winter X Games medal for Estonia. She is also the youngest to win two X Games gold medals.

Sildaru has won the women's slopestyle on the 2015[2] and 2016[3] Dew Tour.

During the Big Air competition of the 2017 Winter X Games Norway, Sildaru became the first woman to ever land a Switch 1260° Mute and a 1440° during a competition.[4]

Because of her young age, the first World Cup event she was allowed to participate in was on 27 August 2017 in Cardrona, New Zealand. She won the slopestyle competition.[5]

Despite being the gold medal favorite for the women’s slopestyle event in 2018 Winter Olympics, she missed competing in the Games because of a knee injury.[6]

However she later recovered and was able to compete in the 2020 Youth Olympic Games where she won a gold medal for the Women's Freestyle Skiing.[7]

During the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, she won a bronze medal in the slopestyle event with her top score of 82.06 in her first run.[8]
