Kelly Sildaru (women's skiing) just overtook Nyja Huston (men's skateboarding) for athlete with most X-Games medals.
Way to go Kelly!

KCoCMseems to me from xgames website that kelly has 10 and nyjah has 19. math isn’t my strongest subject i could be wrong tho.
Young_pattyDamn but still no pro model?
ReturnToMonkeyGood for her, but, imo her style is so stale. It feels so "comp jock" like and I think other women deserve some of those medals more. I think it's great she is bringing attention to that side of the sport, but girls like Matilde Gremaud, Tess Ledeux, and Eileen Gu have way more style and are being more progressive. Their names are more deserving of the spotlight

CatdickBojanglesAll that hardware and still riding Squires…
eheathYeah the actual record is "most medals before turning 20" not total medals, she has 10 before age 20, nyjah had 9 (i think sheckler had 9 as well, maybe it was shawn white i cant remember)
asparagusHow do you say Kelly has bad style then bring up Eileen Gu?? Like no offence, but Gu is one of the least stylish girl skiers

larilinesignEhhh are you watching the same Kelly as I am? She's dripping with steeze, especially in the instabangers she does in her free time.

Every year she gets older, her style makes an evolution. There's nothing stale about it.
Only thing stale is the cheetos dust you suck off your fingers right you watch her afterbang a 9 and say, "lacks style".
ReturnToMonkeyCan I be clear that yes Kelly Sildaru is very talented, and she did kinda develop a consistent style of her own a couple years ago. But its as if her style inspiration as she got better was Andri Ragettli, while, for example, Bella Bacon clearly looked up to Henrik. She has the skills and can do everything in all the directions which can't be said for most people, but that everything only includes basic basic comp tricks by now and also, how often do you hear about her besides comps?
You can't compare a pro to me, lol. It's expected that she should be better then some very mediocre rando, per her job description. Btw I can afterbang a 9 and cheetos are gross
