Kirsty Muir says best yet to come after historic season


While she would never admit it, the Aberdonian can already lay claim to potentially being one of the greatest-ever female British freestyle ski athletes.

As well as her World Cup successes, she also topped the podium at the X games earlier in the year.

That was followed by just missing out on a medal in the women’s slopestyle and big air events at the Winter Olympics in Italy – finishing fourth in both disciplines.

What makes her story even more impressive is the fact she was sidelined for a year from the end of 2023, a period during which she underwent both knee and shoulder surgery.

“I feel like I have had a bit of a mindset change,” she admitted. “I don’t know how to explain it, but I think I have surprised myself. But also I have been working hard for it and I think everything just came together.”

The worrying news for her rivals is that Muir believes her best is yet to come.

“Definitely, I think so, I have had a really cool season,” she added. “I have been skiing well and I just want to keep pushing that and keep improving.

“I have got a lot more I can do and I think that is what I am excited for, and results are results, but I want to keep pushing myself and see how far I can go.

“I have got trick goals and I just want to keep progressing and pushing the sport and myself.”
