Canada’s Amy Fraser finishes fourth in Olympic women’s freeski halfpipe

Amy Fraser couldn’t have come any closer to boosting Canada’s medal count on the final day of the Winter Olympics.

Fraser finished fourth, while fellow Canadian Rachael Karker was seventh in the women’s freeski halfpipe final at Milano Cortina 2026.

The event was postponed on Saturday because of heavy snow.

Calgary’s Fraser had the second-best score (85.00 points) in her first of three runs and improved to 88 points on her final run, but that was just behind bronze medallist Zoe Atkin of Great Britain (92.5 points). Karker, the 2022 Olympic bronze medallist from Erin, Ont., scored 79.5 points on her second run before falling on her final attempt.

Fraser, 30, finished eighth at the 2022 Olympics and has a career-best of fifth at the world championships (2023).

Chinese star Eileen Gu (94.75 points) won gold, defending her Olympic title after pickup up silver medals in slopestyle and big air earlier in Italy. China’s Li Fanghui (93 points) took silver.

Canada’s Cassie Sharpe, a two-time Olympic medallist, did not compete in the final after suffering a head injury during qualifying on Thursday.

Canada has 20 medals at Milano Cortina 2026. The number will jump to 21 after the gold-medal men’s hockey game against the U.S. later Sunday, the final medal event at the Games.
