. I mean, she crushed it out there and still managed to take 4th spot which is no joke! 
She's definitely a skier to watch and her skills are on another level 
. I love how the skiing community is giving her props for her hard work and dedication 
. Of course, some people are saying she should've taken that medal, but let's be real, it's not easy to win an Olympic bronze 
. Muir gave it her all and left everything on the slope – that takes guts 
. I'm rooting for her for sure 
!
! She totally brought the heat with those sick slopestyle skills 
. The debate is on whether she should've taken home that bronze – but let's be real, her bravery and determination to give it her all are truly inspiring 
! I mean, can you imagine what would've happened if she'd just edged out her competitor by 0.41 points? Mind. Blown 
! I mean, she came so close to that bronze but still ended up fourth? It's like one point could be the difference between history and a decent consolation prize 
. What I love about her is how she never gave up, though - that's what makes her performance even more admirable. I'm not sure if it's just me, but it feels like the silver winner got a bit lucky with those 0.41 points 
. Still, Kirsty Muir is an inspiration to the UK skiing community and we're all behind her no matter what 
I mean, Kirsty Muir's performance was undoubtedly impressive, but we need to recognize that the pursuit of Olympic medals can be pretty cutthroat 
. We have to ask ourselves, what's really driving this competition? Is it just about winning or is it about pushing ourselves to be better athletes & representing our countries with pride? I think it's a bit of both, but we need to make sure we're not prioritizing medals over the athlete's well-being & mental health. It's like, can't we just celebrate their achievements without putting them under so much pressure? 
I'm so bummed out for Kirsty Muir! She totally deserved to win or at least get that silver medal! 
. It's not fair that she came so close but didn't quite make it over the edge... I guess that's just how competitions work, though 
. It's not exactly a hair-raising experience for an athlete who narrowly missed out on a medal. And what's with the 'impressive skills' and 'daring maneuvers' talk? We've seen those before, guys 
. We can't just look at one event and say someone deserves a medal based on that alone. It's not that simple 
.
I'm guessing no, because there's no reason to make up numbers when the official results are already out there 
. Let's focus on being critical thinkers rather than armchair experts 
.
. I mean, 0.41 points behind silver? That's like, almost as close as you can get in skiing, right? 
Her bravery and skill on the slopes are totally inspiring, and I love that she's getting so much recognition for her incredible performance 
. What's interesting to me is how it's sparked this debate about whether she should've been awarded a medal too 
. Either way, I'm just glad we got to see her talent shine bright in the Olympics 
!
.
her performance was def one of the best and it's crazy how much debate is going on about whether or not she should've taken the bronze. personally, i think she's already a winner just by making it to the podium, let alone finishing 4th overall... that takes guts! 
that girl is SO talented! I feel bad for her, she came so close to a medal but only missed by 0.41 points 
it's like, what if? What could have been? 
. the silver medallist might've won bronze, but Muir's already a winner in my book 
she finishes 4th and people are saying she almost won a medal? like, not bad but come on 
we need more concrete info about what really went down in that competition. how much margin of victory is 'narrow' anyway? was it even close enough to call her out for coming soooo close? 
. She was close, yeah, but she still skied an insane event – those tricks were INSANE
