Muir relishing crack at second Winter Olympics after serious knee injury
Great Britain's Kirsty Muir during the Women's Freeski Big Air Final on day four of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games at the Big Air Shougang in China, February 8, 202
KIRSTY MUIR starred as Great Britain’s youngest competitor at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing before jetting straight home to finish her Highers at school just outside Aberdeen.
Then aged just 17, the freestyle skier had dazzled on her debut, reaching the finals of both her events and placing fifth in the women’s Big Air competition, behind the all-conquering Chinese superstar Eileen Gu.
Yet three years on, Muir regards her experience in Beijing as a distant memory – hardly surprising given the obstacles she has faced in her quest to reach her second Games in Milan and Cortina, which get under way on February 6 next year.
