79.0 for her - She's currently in the first spot!
-
-
-
-
She's managing to get in some awesome tricks though..high degree of difficulty and a very clean run.
-
-
85.80 for Bowman - by FAR the best run of the set so far.
-
-
Amazing start for her, but ends with a heavy fall. She's having trouble getting up.
-
Medical crew currently attending to her... hopefully she's okay!
-
-
She looks okay - will likely be able to go again for her second run. 27.80 for her on this run, moving into 7th spot.
-
Last athlete to go for Run 1 - Marie Martinod of France.
-
Ends with a solid 900.. and a pretty smooth run for her throughout.
-
She scores an 84.8 for that run, moving her into 2nd place.
-
-
Roz currently in the second last spot...She needs to make this second run count!
-
Again, the gold medal goes to the best run between the two runs (an athletes score is NOT cumulative).
-
Take a look at how Roz trains with her fellow freestyle skiers:

Roz Groenewoud falls on her first or two final runs. It's alright. Just have an insane second run to medal like Mike Riddle did in the mensby bdhillon1217 via twitter 2/20/2014 6:00:16 PM -
And the second run begins! Amy Sheehan of AUS is up first again.
-
Again, not her best run - 40.60. She won't make the podium tonight.
-
-
And a hard fall for her.. she too is out of medal contention.
