The Belarusian athlete participated in her third Freeski Aerials World Cup stage of the season. In Lake Placid, USA, she finished ninth.
Hanna also finished ninth in the previous stage, which also took place in Lake Placid, and ninth in the stage in China.
Huskova has qualified for the Winter Olympics, which will be held from February 6 to 21 in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.
After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russian and Belarusian athletes in several sports (ice hockey, biathlon, freestyle skiing) were suspended from international competitions, and it initially seemed that Belarusians would largely miss the Winter Olympics.
But in December, six Belarusian and three Russian athletes received neutral participant status, permission granted by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS), which oversees freestyle skiing, cross-country skiing, and alpine skiing, but not biathlon.
Since 1998, Belarusian freestylers have brought home medals from the Winter Olympics — a total of eight, including four gold.
At the last Olympics in Beijing in 2022, Hanna Huskova won silver, and in Pyeongchang in 2018, she won gold.
At the Olympics in Italy, the aerials final is scheduled for February 18.
