Year starts with a banger for Italy, as the Italian sibling duo Miro Tabanelli and Flora Tabanelli bag gold medals at X Games 2025, Pacifico Ski Big Air. Carving history as the biggest freestyle hopes for the Olympic Games in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, the duo oozes off with the signature wins of their careers. Making catapulting flight in the air, Miro and Flora breathed pride in the Tabanelli family and how!
The Pacifico Ski Big Air win for Flora Tabanelli was nothing short of meteoric. Just 17, an athlete from Livigno, stunned the crowd at the games with a jaw-dropping 1440, making four spectacular spins in the mid-air and claiming the moment to be hers and securing the gold medal. Besides, a worthy mention of another milestone at Kreischberg should not be missed, where she bagged her first-ever World Cup. And now? Flora and Miro Tabanelli made history as the first Italians to win X Games gold medals in a winter discipline, achieving this milestone simultaneously at the X Games Aspen 2025.
What is even more inspiring? Well, Flora declined her Aspen 2024 invite to the Youth Olympic Games. It looks like it paid off as she elevated in the sky, leaving Gangwon and South Korea with double gold in slopestyle and Big Air. Guess that is what we call a ‘phenomenon.’

That’s that! Flora’s historic gold didn’t just put a halt to happiness! For her brother, Miro, a rising star, claimed an electrifying victory at the Big Air event, X Games. Slating a grand jump that had never landed in the records, spinning six and a half times in mid-air. The 20-year-old left the spectators in awe, securing a gold. For the unversed, New Zealand’s Luca Harrington settled for silver, and Austria’s Matej Svancer took bronze. It took 24 hours, and the Tabanelli siblings rewrote history for Italy, defying the gravity pull. Fair to say, with static and fuelled medal ambitions, Flora and Miro are redefining freestyle skiing.
