"It was a breathtaking competition to see this level of performance. Ailing stood for the first time with this (trick). I can't imagine what must have gone in her head before doing it."

Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee

"She (Ailing) has killed it today. She works very hard. She is nice. There is a very good (atmosphere) in freestyle skiing in general. She is extremely competitive. She is very focused on her job and she is an amazing athlete."

Tess Ledeux, French Big Air silver medalist

"It (Gu's move) was something new that no one had witnessed until today. So congrats to her for that. The competition was really like nothing we have seen before. Everyone was just pushing and coming up with new things. Everyone was just giving it their all, and it turned out to be like the sickest event that there ever was for Big Air for women."

Mathilde Gremaud, Swiss Big Air bronze medalist
