China's Gu Ailing claimed victory in the women's slopestyle final at the FIS Freestyle Skiing World Cup in Laax, Switzerland, on Friday.
In her first World Cup slopestyle appearance of the season, Gu scored 81.22 points to take the top spot on the podium. Canada's Megan Oldham finished second with 72.80 points, while Switzerland's Mathilde Gremaud placed third with 72.59 points.
Under the qualification system for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, slopestyle and big air are combined into a single discipline. This means athletes can secure only one quota spot for their National or Regional Olympic Committee (NOC) across the two events.
Olympic qualification is determined based on athletes' best results in World Cup competitions and the 2025 World Championships. By winning in Laax, Gu took a significant step toward her goal of full participation in every freeski park and pipe discipline at next year's Games.
Gu has previously expressed her ambition to compete in all three freeski park and pipe events – slopestyle, halfpipe and big air – at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics.
