Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but Thenault's score in qualification would have tied for gold in 2022. She's got to do a few more cleanly to get there, though. 

Aerials are way too unpredictable for that

McMorris' qualification score would have put him on the podium. But alas. 

 

The level of competition today was overall not very good. Certainly no freeski big air final.

No medal for McMorris, but after that heavy crash in big air training, dropping an 80+ run in qualification and finishing 8th is about as good as we could've asked from him.

Before McMorris’ accident I would have found this result disappointing. Now I feel like just being competitive was a victory.

Personal update: just landed in London, will be in Milan late this afternoon.

Thenault through to final 2! 

There's still one more jump

[Surlympics 1,343]

Marion Thenault onto final 2!! The level of this competition is wild! Top five all over 100

[intoronto 6,782]

Final 1 has 2 jumps fwiw

Is that new?

I think it was like that in Beijing but World Championships was only one jump. Weird.
