Alysa Liu wasn't the favorite to win gold heading to the 2026 Olympics in Milan, Italy, but on Thursday, Feb. 19, she closed out the Games as the winner in the women’s competition, ending a 24-year gold medal drought in the event for Team USA.

Team USA wasn’t expected to get many medals Thursday. But the events it was in contention for were important ones. The U.S. came into Thursday still third in overall medals, still trailing Norway and Italy.

Frostad swiped the gold medal back from Forehand by equalling that 98.25 on his final run, giving Norway its 14th gold of this year's Games. While Forehand couldn't nab gold, he walked away with an impressive silver medal in what commentators called the best Big Air competition they've ever seen with outrageous scoring from the entire field.
