302: Winter Olympics Special #8 | Kirsty Muir misses out + Chemmy Alcott on the Women’s Slalom

In our latest Winter Olympics Special, we discuss Kirsty Muir just missing out on a medal in the Ski Big Air, plus Chemmy Alcott shares her predictions for the Women’s Slalom. We also find out what life is like in an Olympic Village, plus we look at the new sport of SkiMo.

Host, Iain Martin, was joined by Olympian and former Team GB Skier X athlete Emily Sarsfield.

SHOW NOTES

Kirsty Muir finished 4th in the Ski Big Air (1:00)
Why Kirsty opted to go big for her final trick (2:00)

“The judges have ranges for tricks. She had already nearly maxed out the available score for trick A and while the score for trick B was high, it wasn’t that clean a jump, so had more scope to increase. That trick has scored in the 96/7 range before. Plus on run three she tried to add in a new grab that, had she landed, would have asked serious questions of the judges.”
