Scott in medal contention after qualifying
Danielle Scott, 35, achieved her first Olympic medal with a personal-best 117.19 qualifying score and silver finish, contributing to Australia's record six medals at Milano Cortina.
- Clinching silver, Danielle Scott secured the women's aerials medal at Livigno during the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics.
- Scott qualified straight through in the morning and then posted a personal-best 117.19 to lead into the top-six shootout, arriving in form after winning the Lake Placid World Cup this year.
- In the Super final, Xu Mengtao scored 112.90, Scott's effort received 102.17, and Shao Qi finished with 101.90, moving Scott into second place.
- The silver counts as Australia's sixth medal at these Games and the first in aerials since 2014, with Danielle Scott earning her first Olympic medal in her fourth Games.
- Looking at the format, well, age is only a number, and Mengtao and I, we're both 35, so it doesn't matter,' the Australian said, despite the weather-compressed single-day schedule.
