Competing at the prestigious Eugenio Monti Sliding Centre in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Moore secured her position among the top 20 athletes who will advance to Monday’s final round after placing 15th overall following Monday’s third heat.
The qualification comes after two initial rounds held on Sunday, with the top performers earning their spot in the medal-determining run. Despite experiencing a technically challenging third run, Moore achieved her personal best time of the competition with 1:00.41 seconds, ranking 17th for the day. Her previous times stood at 1:00.55 seconds and 1:00.43 seconds on Sunday, resulting in a cumulative three-round total of 3:01.39 seconds.
While Moore remains significantly behind the current medal leaders with a gap of 3.09 seconds, her progression to the final round marks a notable achievement. The competition is currently dominated by Germany’s Laura Nolte, who leads with an impressive combined time of 2:58.27 seconds. She is closely followed by American contenders Elana Meyers Taylor (2:58.42 seconds) and Kaillie Armbruster Humphries (2:58.51 seconds), setting the stage for a highly competitive final round.
