A faceplant is not the way you would want to end your run. Hope she's okay.

She's done well to make the final given she's ranked 16th in the world.

That said, that run also exemplifies how ridiculous 7's push notification about her potentially winning a medal was. That was the first time she'd ever completed a 900 trick in competition (and it wasn't all that clean), and the girl that is going to win the gold is capable of completing back to back 1080 tricks

It was dumb that they pumped her up for a medal considering it was a surprise she even made the final, but in saying that Torah Bright won a gold doing much smaller tricks than her competitors she was just super clean

7 not even attempting to catch up to the live action in the Alpine skiing. At this rate, I'll be surprised if they get through 15 skiers (i.e less than a quarter of the field) before they cut away to the Men's Snowboard Halfpipe

Dragon Ridge providing a few "heart in mouth" type moments with the air people are getting over it and how out of shape they are while getting said air

I don't like the halfpipe. prefer the other freestyle events.
I'm much the same. The Slopestyle (both men's and women's) was far more entertaining than that Women's Half Pipe final.

Hopefully the bigger tricks in the Men's Half Pipe will be more interesting

The difference is night and day the top men can pull 1440s so 4 spins and the best woman was doing a 1080 and she is a freak
