Fans will be treated to some exciting sports on day nine, with Australian athletes taking part in three sports.
Freestyle Skiing
With a long and proud history in the freestyle skiing discipline of women’s aerials, Australia has another three incredibly talented jumpers competing at Beijing 2022.
They’ll be led by current world champion Laura Peel, three-time Olympian Danielle Scott and young gun Gabi Ash.
Aerial skiing involves skiers performing various acrobatic moves in the air after elevating from a snow-packed ramp known as a kicker.
The aerials competition consists of qualification involving two jumps and then final phases involving three jumps. The top six competitors from qualification jump one advance directly to the final. The remaining competitors perform a second jump and the remaining top six scores from both qualification jumps one and jump two advance to the final.
Catch Laura, Danielle and Gabi from 10pm AEDT.
