Olympic Slopestyler Shows some Skin, Skis Down the Mountain in a Tank Top

Kuura Koivisto removed bulky clothing to improve jump clearance and speed, finishing 14th in Olympic slopestyle qualifying, two spots short of advancing to the final.

  • On Saturday at Livigno Snow Park, Finland's Kuura Koivisto skied his Olympic slopestyle qualifying run in a tank top amid 2026 Winter Olympics pressure.
  • Koivisto said he swapped a training hoodie for a tank top because it hindered jumps, prioritizing speed, and noted it feels like home in spring.
  • The crowd loved it, as 25-year-old Koivisto skied in a tank top on a sunshiny slope around 2 degrees Celsius, amid Olympic pressure.
  • He finished 14th in qualifying, two spots short of the top 12 who advance to Tuesday's men's final, so Koivisto did not advance to the final.
  • Given another chance, Koivisto said he'd probably do the same thing again and noted his tank top tactic feels familiar due to his spring skiing habit, implying future attempts.
