    Kirsty Muir: British freestyle skier wins historic World Cup titles

    Kirsty Muir has become the first British woman to win World Cup titles in both freeski slopestyle and overall park and pipe.

    The 21-year-old Scot finished second on Saturday, behind home skier Sarah Hofflin, in the final slopestyle event of the 2025-26 season in Silvaplana, Switzerland.

    Muir’s score of 75.54, behind 35-year-old Olympic bronze medallist Hofflin (80.07), was enough for her to claim a third consecutive podium, following wins in Aspen and Tignes.

    It pushed her season score to 280 points to clinch the first slopestyle Crystal Globe of her career, by 69 points from Canada’s Elena Gaskell.

    Muir also finished third in the big air season standings, on 219 points, giving her a combined total of 470 in the overall competition – which includes slopestyle, big air and halfpipe – to beat nearest challenger, Canada’s Naomi Urness, by 78 points.

    The Aberdonian’s landmark wins followed disappointment at last month’s Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina, where she finished fourth in both slopestyle and big air.

    After coming so close to a medal, the X Games champion told BBC Sport after the Olympics that it just motivated her to go on and achieve more in the sport.

    “I am really excited to go and try and learn some new tricks. I am excited to see where I can push myself and where I can push the sport,” she said.

    “For the next two years I will go and do everything that I would like to do and forget about the Olympics, and then when it comes round to qualification again I will get stuck in.”
