Freestyle ski champion Kirsty Muir has expressed her surprise at her remarkable achievements during what has become a groundbreaking year for her career. The 21-year-old Scot concluded a stellar season in Switzerland last month, making history as the first British woman to secure World Cup titles in both freeski slopestyle and the overall park and pipe categories.

In an interview with BBC Scotland, Muir shared her thoughts:

It has definitely been a goal of mine for a while, and I think the end of such a fun and good season just to come to that was really special. I think in the ski especially, it is really cool. I think it is a personal achievement and it is cool that it is a bit of history too.

Muir's stellar year also included a podium finish at the X Games, along with near misses for medals in the women's slopestyle and big air events at the Winter Olympics in Italy, where she finished fourth in both disciplines.

Adding to her inspiring comeback story, Muir had been sidelined for a year due to knee and shoulder surgeries. Reflecting on her journey, she noted, "I feel like I have had a bit of a mindset change. I don't know how to explain it, but I think I have surprised myself. But also I have been working hard for it, and I think everything just came together."

Looking ahead, Muir conveyed her determination, stating, "Definitely, I think so, I have had a really cool season. I have been skiing well, and I just want to keep pushing that and keep improving. I have got a lot more I can do, and I think that is what I am excited for. I have got trick goals, and I just want to keep progressing and pushing the sport and myself."
