Bronze for Rachael Karker at the season opening halfpipe WC in Cardona! 
 

Disappointment for Cassie Sharpe as she bows out in qualification with no clean runs (she was visibly upset after her final run, nice gesture from her some of fellow competitors to console her)

Gold and bronze for Brendan MacKay and Andrew Longino in men’s halfpipe at the Cadrona WC as well!

Bronze for Dylan Deschamps at the Chur Big Air WC!

Mikael Kingsbury with WC victory #91, really starting to close in on 100, with gold in moguls at the Ruka WC!

 

Edit: Also, a 4th for Maia Schwinghammer. Best ever WC result in moguls for her.

Bronze for Dylan Deschamps in men’s big air at the Beijing WC.

 

Honestly not quite sure how to feel about it… Harrington had a higher combined score than him and tied for the lead at 183.00 and yet somehow finished in 4th?

That's a really, really old rule in FIS Big Air - the two counting jumps must be of a different direction (depending on the competition, either clockwise / counterclockwise or having every variation of forward/switch or goofy/regular and clockwise/anticlockwise/straight count as a unique direction).

 

That is what the A, B and sometimes C on the result list refer to - not which direction (sadly that's not listed), but whether the jump is a repeated direction or not.
