Backwards finish shocks Olympics as Horishima climbs podium
Japan’s Ikuma Horishima delivered a jaw-dropping moment in the downhill dual moguls at the 2026 Winter Olympics by crossing the finish line while skiing backwards after a late fall. The feat drew astonished reaction from NBC commentators; Horishima won silver behind Canada’s Mikael Kingsbury, with Nick Page briefly in a position ahead before being ruled out of bounds, marking Horishima’s second Olympic podium.
