Freestyle skier Flora Tabanelli made history at the age of 18 on Tuesday when she took bronze in the big air event at Milano Cortina 2026, securing Italy's first ever medal in the discipline.
    The teenager made the podium along with Canadian gold medallist Megan Oldham and China's defending champion Eileen Gu despite having torn the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee just three months ago.
    It was Italy's 23rd medal of the Games, three more than their previous best showing at a Winter Olympics at Lillehammer in 1994.
