This course is so unforgiving, you really have to be in control the entire way.

Spencer OBrien "sketches out" on backside 720 on 1st run. Will need at least 73.75 to medal #slopestyle #Sochi2014

Next up is rider #10, Jamie Anderson of the US.

There are 12 women in the final. Top score from either of the two runs wins.

Finishes a clean run, Jenny Jones, but the judges will take a close look at the rails.
