Oystein Braaten Claims Gold in Ski Slopestyle

The 23-year-old Hidden Valley native earned scores of 59.00 and 69.00 in his first and second runs, respectively, at Phoenix Snow Park in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

American Nick Goepper improved on his bronze from Sochi four years ago with a silver medal as Canada's Alex Beaulieu-Marchand claimed a surprise third place.

"I really had to dig deep", Goepper said of his final run.

Sitting in bronze going into the final run, Woods scored 90.00 to narrowly miss out on strengthening his position, and he could only watch on as Goepper moved into second with a 93.60.

"I was just visualizing this moment the last 72 hours over and over again", Goepper told NBC after his race.

There was no touching Norway's Oystein Braaten though, who won gold with a score of 95.0 on his very first attempt. With none of the remaining riders able to outdo him, that score held up to earn Goepper and the US the silver medal.

"It didn't work out for me, which is a bummer", Kenworthy said. He soared through the air on his final two jumps, the latter being a triple-cork 1440.

Earlier, Woods' GB team-mate Tyler Harding failed to make the final cut after scoring 20.00 and 21.00 in his two qualifying runs. After he broke his thumb, Kenworthy tweeted: "I$3 t does prevent me from shaking Pence's hand so ..." Kenworthy was unable to land a full run, though, and finished 12th.
