A BIT OF REACTION FROM GUS KENWORTHY
At the age of 34, Kenworthy finished a respectable sixth and out of the medals in the men's halfpipe final.
"It wasn't what I wanted," he told the BBC. "Not even entirely sure what happened on the first run, just a fluke mistake.
"Then, on the second run, I saw that a lot of people weren't putting their run down. So, I thought I would kind of play it safe and get a score on the board, which I did.
"Then I had only one shot for my third run, which I didn't put together.
"I feel like there is not a difference of being sixth or 12th.
"Anyway, I am still happy to land a run."
