Despite the fierce competition, 17-year-old alpine skier Tallulah Proulx made her giant slalom debut in the 2026 Winter Olympics and ended with a score she is proud of. Proulx finished both runs at the storied Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre and finished 52nd out of 76 starters, making history as the first female representative of the Philippines in the Winter Olympics. This accomplishment is particularly noteworthy given that many competitors did not finish the event. As viewers worldwide applaud her zeal and perseverance, her positive response and daring performance have lit up fan feeds and highlight clips on 👉닌자티비.

💪 Young but Fearless on the Hill

Proulx tackled the giant slalom with impressive poise. Her first run was clocked at 1:17.15 and she followed that with 1:24.47 in her second, giving her a combined time of 2:41.62 — good for 52nd overall. With 22 athletes failing to finish, her ability to complete both runs was as meaningful as her ranking.

🎉 Unbelievable But Fun

“It was so fun and it was actually scary. But I finished it. It was honestly unbelievable,” Proulx said with a smile after crossing the line — a mix of relief, pride, and joy that resonated with fans worldwide.

🌍 Making History for the Philippines

Proulx’s performance isn’t just about one race — she’s carved her name in history as the first Filipina to take on the Winter Olympics, inspiring young athletes back home and beyond. Supported by family who traveled from Utah to watch her run, her season isn’t over yet, as she’s scheduled to compete in women’s slalom later in the week.

Her Olympic journey — one filled with courage, determined finishes and an unforgettable race — continues to build momentum, proving that dream performances don’t always require a podium to be truly meaningful.
