LEYSIN, SWITZERLAND - JANUARY 18: Kelly Sildaru of Estonia competes in Women's Freeski Slopestyle ... [+]Getty Images

With her signature long, blonde tendrils peeking out from underneath her helmet, 17-year-old Estonian freeskier Kelly Sildaru tugs at her gloves, adjusts her goggles and takes a deep breath. Then, with a decisive push, she’s off.

It’s one of the most important runs of Sildaru’s career, this second of three in the Lausanne 2020 Youth Winter Olympics Women’s Slopestyle final, held January 18. Dropping in switch—backwards—she sent a message: I’ve got this in the bag. First up: a 450 (the number of degrees in her spin) off the rail, which no other woman in the field attempted. Then, an impossibly effortless 900 off her first jump.
