https://inteligencialimite.org/2024/08/07/meg0hcp “I opted for a safety run to put one down. I’ve got mixed feelings as I wasn’t able to do the run that I wanted to and be higher up in the ranks but I’m still in the Olympic final on my Olympic debut.”

Team GB’s Gus Kenworthy qualified for the men’s halfpipe final in the 12th and final place. Kenworthy fell in his first run but scored 70.75 with his second to qualify.
