"In my second run I wanted to step it up. Cassie with a 1080 inspired me so I wanted to put the right alley-oop 5 in.

"Skiing is all about fun and individuality and being able to express yourself and find that flow, and for myself I really find that in halfpipe.

"Being able to feel the rhythm of the walls, and being able to put unique grabs, to try different axis, spin different directions -- it's really fun and it's the essence of the sport."

In the three-run final, Canadian skier Cassie Sharpe, the PyeongChang 2018 champion, took the silver with her stable performances. Her best score was 90.75 in her third run and the worst was 89.00 in her first run.
