The list of "firsts" Kelly Sildaru has next to her name continues to grow after she secured bronze on Tuesday at the Beijing Winter Games, becoming the first Estonian athlete to win an Olympic medal in freestyle skiing.

本周二，凱麗·希爾達(dá)魯獲得了北京冬奧會(huì)自由式滑雪女子坡面障礙技巧比賽銅牌，成為首位在自由式滑雪項(xiàng)目上獲得奧運(yùn)獎(jiǎng)牌的愛沙尼亞運(yùn)動(dòng)員，其“第一”的履歷又添新筆。

Born in 2002, she has also become the youngest Olympic medalist from Estonia in either the summer or winter edition of the Games.

希爾達(dá)魯生于2002年，她同時(shí)是愛沙尼亞冬奧會(huì)和夏奧會(huì)最年輕的獎(jiǎng)牌獲得者。

Wearing a black snow jacket and maroon pants, Sildaru stood out against the brilliant white course during Tuesday's final. With her signature long, blonde hair flowing out from her black helmet, the 19-year-old made one last check on her skis and poles before taking a deep breath and setting off on her run.

在周二的決賽中，希爾達(dá)魯身穿黑色雪地夾克和栗色長褲，在亮白的滑雪場(chǎng)上格外惹人注目。這位19歲女孩標(biāo)志性的金色長發(fā)從她黑色的頭盔下飄出。在完成對(duì)滑雪板和滑雪桿的最后一次檢查后，希爾達(dá)魯深吸一口氣，開始投入比賽。

The Estonian flagbearer was the last among all 12 athletes to set off in the final after she received the highest score (86.15) during qualification.

這位愛沙尼亞選手在資格賽中獲得最高分（86.15分）。決賽場(chǎng)上，希爾達(dá)魯在12名運(yùn)動(dòng)員中最后出發(fā)。

She finished her first run with a 900-degree rotation and a tailgrab (grabbing the back of the skis).

她以900度旋轉(zhuǎn)和后手抓板動(dòng)作完成了第一跳。

Her impressive moves and perfect landing gave her a score of 82.06, enabling her to nail a medal despite mistakes in the second run and a low-scoring third.

希爾達(dá)魯憑借令人印象深刻的動(dòng)作和完美的落地拿下82.06分。盡管第二跳有失誤，第三跳得分較低，希爾達(dá)魯還是贏得了一枚獎(jiǎng)牌。

Switzerland's Mathilde Gremaud won gold and China's Gu Ailing secured silver.

瑞士選手瑪?shù)贍柕隆じ窭啄芦@得金牌，中國選手谷愛凌獲得銀牌。

"My first run was pretty much like a safe run. That run brought me bronze. I mean I'm happy about it, but it would have been better when I could have put down a better run," she said post-race.

賽后希爾達(dá)魯說：“我的第一跳是用來保底的，那一跳讓我能摘下銅牌。對(duì)此我很高興，但如果我能發(fā)揮得更好的話就更棒了?！?/p>

Although the failure in the second run blocked her path to the gold medal, Sildaru is still enjoying herself at her first Olympics.

雖然第二跳的失敗斷送了她的奪金之路，但希爾達(dá)魯仍然很享受她的冬奧首秀。

"When I'm skiing, I'm just going to do my best. So I just need to enjoy myself and I'm not trying to focus too much on the medals or on the podium or stuff like that. It's more about my skiing."

“當(dāng)我滑雪的時(shí)候，我會(huì)盡我最大的努力，我只需要享受當(dāng)下。我不想把太多精力放在獎(jiǎng)牌啊、領(lǐng)獎(jiǎng)臺(tái)啊之類的事情上。我只把參加冬奧會(huì)當(dāng)作是我去滑一場(chǎng)雪而已?！?/p>

Her passion for skiing and hard work have earned Sildaru a series of titles at a young age.

在很小的時(shí)候，憑借對(duì)滑雪的熱愛和刻苦的訓(xùn)練，希爾達(dá)魯就載譽(yù)滿滿。

At age 13 in 2016, she became the youngest gold medalist to date at a Winter X Games event, and the first person to win a Winter X Games medal for Estonia. She is also the youngest to win two X Games gold medals.

2016年，13歲的希爾達(dá)魯就成為了迄今為止最年輕的世界極限運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)金牌得主，也是第一位贏得世界極限運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)獎(jiǎng)牌的愛沙尼亞人。她同時(shí)還是最年輕的、贏得了兩枚世界極限運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)金牌的運(yùn)動(dòng)員。

During the Big Air competition of the 2017 Winter X Games Norway, Sildaru became the first woman to ever land a switch 1260-degree mute and a 1440 degree during a competition.

在2017年挪威冬季極限運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)的大跳臺(tái)比賽中，希爾達(dá)魯成為有史以來第一位完成1260度和1440度動(dòng)作的女運(yùn)動(dòng)員。

Because of her young age, Sildaru was not allowed to participate in the World Cup until 2017 in New Zealand, where she won the slopestyle competition.

由于年齡太小，希爾達(dá)魯直到2017年才獲準(zhǔn)參加新西蘭的世界杯，并獲得坡面障礙技巧比賽的冠軍。

A knee injury denied her a chance to compete at the 2018 Winter Games, but she later recovered and won a gold medal in slopestyle at the 2020 Youth Olympic Games.

膝蓋受傷使希爾達(dá)魯失去了參加2018年平昌冬奧會(huì)的機(jī)會(huì)，但康復(fù)之后，希爾達(dá)魯又在2020年青年奧運(yùn)會(huì)上拿下坡面障礙項(xiàng)目的金牌。

"Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines," Sildaru once wrote in a caption to one of her photos on Instagram.

希爾達(dá)魯曾在Instagram上曬圖并配文稱“問題不是絆腳石，而是墊腳石?！?/p>

What makes Sildaru's achievements even more striking is that she hails from a virtually mountainless nation with an average elevation of around 300 meters.

讓希爾達(dá)魯?shù)某删透右俗⒛康氖?，她來自一個(gè)幾乎沒有高山、平均海拔約300米的國家。

"I'm usually training where I have competitions," she said. "Like maybe just going there two weeks earlier for my training and competitions, or we just stay longer."

她說：“我通常在有比賽的地方訓(xùn)練。比如，我可能會(huì)提前兩周去某個(gè)地方參加訓(xùn)練和比賽，或者會(huì)在那里待得更久?！?/p>

Spring in Finland, summer in France, and couple of months in New Zealand－Sildaru admitted she used to struggle between school and skiing: "It was a little hard at first.

在芬蘭度過春天，在法國度過夏天，再在新西蘭待上幾個(gè)月——希爾達(dá)魯承認(rèn)她曾在學(xué)校和滑雪之間掙扎,“一開始有點(diǎn)難”。

"I graduated this spring, so it's been really nice to just focus on skiing," said Sildaru, who will turn 20 on Thursday.

本周四是希爾達(dá)魯20歲生日，她說：“今年春天我就畢業(yè)了。以后可以一門心思滑雪，真好?！?/p>

Sildaru will compete in the halfpipe qualification on her birthday, with the aim to make the final which will be held on Friday.
