Olympic Halfpipe Qualifier Results

UPDATE: Added full list of riders in the Semis.

So, the top three from each heat are directly into the finals. Riders in position four to nine ride in the semi-finals. Ben Mates came in 9th in his qualifier and goes onto the semis. Scotty James came in 12th and just missed out after a great second run that scored him 28.2 – Twitter went crazy for him too with sites all over the world giving him props and saying we’ll see him in 2014. Top of the table – Shaun White, Ryo Aono, Louie Vito, Peetu Piiroinen, Kazuhiro Kokubo and Iouri Podladtchikov are all straight through to the finals. Semis info up after 12:15pm!
