Did Team USA Medal in Women's Snowboard Slopestyle? Here Are the Results
Persistent snowfall in Italy delayed the women's snowboard slopestyle final by nearly 24 hours, impacting top qualifier Zoi Sadowski-Synnott's chance for a fifth Olympic medal.
- Organisers postponed the women's snowboard slopestyle final in Livigno due to persistent snowfall, rescheduling it from 1am NZT Wednesday to 2.30am NZT Thursday.
- Snowfall earlier in Italy left insufficient speed on the course, and course crews could not clear the jumps before the competition, while slopestyle is vulnerable to fresh snow and wind.
- New Zealand's Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, the 24-year-old reigning world champion, led qualifying on Sunday and will now aim for a fifth Olympic medal to climb New Zealand all-time Olympic medal ranks.
- The schedule now places the women's final after the men's final featuring Kiwi Dane Menzies, forcing athletes to adjust preparation and rest with little notice.
- Sadowski-Synnott's past medals highlight the stakes, as she won Olympic bronze at 16 and later claimed slopestyle gold and big air silver, while Kokomo Murase qualified second and won big air gold this year.
