Eileen Gu's latest victory gives her the inaugural Snow League title

LAAX, Switzerland — Eileen Gu etched her name into freeskiing history once again on Friday, capturing the first Snow League season championship with a gold-medal performance in the circuit’s halfpipe finale.

The win, coming less than a month after the 22-year-old topped the podium at the Milan Cortina Olympics, sealed a perfect debut campaign for Shaun White’s new league and extended Gu’s unprecedented streak of six-for-six Olympic medals across two Games. No other freeskier has medaled in every Olympic event they have entered.

“I take a lot of meaning in being the first to do things,” Gu said after her victory. “To be a part of this league means so much to me. ... I believe so much in the vision and the direction that it’s pushing the sport.”

Born in the United States and competing for China, Gu earned $75,000 for the day’s work—$50,000 for the contest win and a $25,000 bonus for clinching the season crown. Fifteen of her 20 World Cup titles have come in halfpipe competition.

New Zealand’s Luke Harrold matched Gu’s payday, sweeping both the event and the men’s season title.

Snowboarders close the inaugural Snow League season on Saturday, with Olympic gold medalist Yuto Totsuka holding a narrow lead over bronze medalist Ryusei Yamada in the standings.
