Kirsty Muir, a British freestyle skier from Scotland, has won the gold medal in the slopestyle event at the X Games in Aspen, Colorado. The 21-year-old claimed her first major victory with a score of 93.66 in the first run, leaving her rivals in her wake.
Muir's triumph comes after a year of recovery from knee and shoulder surgery, which kept her out of competition for most of 2023. Despite this setback, she has been working hard to regain her form and has now shown that her hard work was worth it.
The X Games slopestyle event was delayed by 24 hours due to poor weather in Colorado, but Muir's performance made the wait worthwhile. She will now look forward to competing at next month's Winter Olympics in Italy, where she hopes to build on her success and bring home more medals for Great Britain.
Muir's victory is a significant milestone for Team GB, which has been seeking to strengthen its presence in freestyle skiing. The British skier's achievement has also inspired her teammates and fans back home, who will be eagerly awaiting her next competition.

! I mean, she went from being out of the game for a year to smashing it in the X Games – talk about a slope-style resurgence 
! That knee and shoulder surgery must have been a real bummer, but it looks like she's now shredding the gnar like a pro 
. And let's be real, who needs sunshine when you can have snow and medals, right? 
The X Games might've had to wait for some decent weather, but Muir's win made the whole thing worth it – literally! 
Can't wait to see what she brings home from the Olympics next month 
!
Kirsty Muir is literally on fire!!! 
She just won that gold medal at X Games in Aspen & its like she didnt even try lol 
. Team GB needs more skiers like her ASAP 
she totally earned that win after all the hard work & setbacks 
, hope she can bring home more medals for GB at Olympics 
Interesting how X Games had to delay event due to weather, but it paid off in the end 
. Now I'm literally counting down the days until the Winter Olympics, can't wait to see her bring home more medals for Great Britain 
! Team GB needs more skiers like Kirsty, she's setting the bar so high 
Her performance was absolutely flawless, loved how she owned that slopestyle course 
Can't wait to see her take on the Winter Olympics in Italy next month! GB is definitely gonna be bringing home some medals with this talented skier at the helm 
. The fact that she's not getting any younger (21, btw) just makes her achievement even more impressive.
. Like, we all love our Olympics, but it's easy to get lost in the shuffle. Hopefully, Muir's success will inspire a new wave of talent to come through and represent Great Britain on the world stage.
? Only time'll tell, but one thing's for sure - we're all rooting for her! 
. I mean, 93.66 is a sick score! And now she's gonna try to bring home more medals for GB at the Winter Olympics... fingers crossed! 
Team GB has been trying to strengthen their freestyle skiing presence and Muir just showed they can do it 
BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, THIS GIRL HAS WORKED SO HARD AND IT PAIDS OFF
