Lemley improved her score from the first final run. She scored a 79.02 before she catapulted to the top of the podium in the last final run. Kauf was second in the first final run and in silver-medal position in the second final run.
Lemley, a 20-year-old from Colorado, was a gold-medal winner in the dual moguls and team moguls, in the Youth Olympic Games in 2024. She was unable to compete in the 2024-25 Freestyle Ski World Cup due to a torn ACL. Now, she can call herself an Olympic champion.
