Defending champion Jakara Anthony misses podium
Twenty-year-old freestyle skier Elizabeth Lemley won a gold medal for Team USA in moguls on Wednesday with two fine runs to surprise the crowds in Livigno at the Winter Games.
Her victory put an end to a bid by Australia’s defending champion, Jakara Anthony, to retain the title she won in Beijing in 2022 after a disastrous final run. Anthony had been a huge favorite to win gold after dominating her sport for a number of years, but finished last of the eight finalists.
