Henry Sildaru wins silver at the Winter Olympics

Finally! The wait is over! Estonia is up on the medals table at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games! Nineteen-year-old Henry Sidaru won silver in the mens freestyle skiing halfpipe and Estonians around the world are thrilled. The halfpipe is one of three categories of freestyle skiing and involves performing a series of tricks while skiing down a semi-cylindrical slope. This is Henry Sidaru's first Olympic medal. His older sister Kelly Sidaru was Estonia's only medalist at the last Winter Games in Beijing in 2022.
