Julia Marino of the US claimed second after putting down an 87.68 in her second run to secure her silver medal, while Asutralian Tess Coady was able to improve on her first run score and take bronze with an 84.15 on her third and final run.

This is the first snowboard slopestyle gold in Olympic history not to be claimed by a US rider. Sage Kotsenburg and Red Gerard won the previous two in the men’s Olympic slopestyle, while Jamie Anderson’s dominance over the last ten years landed her back to back golds in the women’s contests. This year American crashed out on two of her three runs, only managing to secure 9th place in the end – one place ahead of Japan’s Kokomo Murase, another surprise result from the finals.
