Defending Olympic gold medalist Red Gerard finished fourth in the Olympic Winter Games slopestyle finals on Monday, Feb. 7. 

Gerard put down his best run right out of the gate in the best-of-three-run finals at Genting Snow Park. His run featured technical and stylish combinations through the three-part rail section, 50-50 to backside 360 50-50, into the drop-off rail with a frontside 180 on to switch backside 540 out, finishing with a backside noseslide 450 out. Gerard sent it through the jumps, landing a switch backside 1620 Indy, into a frontside double cork 1080 Weddle, finishing with a backside 1620 method—a huge run earning a modest score of 83.25. 

“Definitely would have liked to be on the podium—didn’t fully agree with the judging, but that’s okay, that’s the way it goes,” said Gerard. “I was really happy I was able to put down a run I’ve always wanted to do and this course was incredible, it treated us awesome.” While this marks the first time the U.S. Team has missed the top spot on the Olympic slopestyle podium since the event premiered in 2014, Gerard is already looking ahead to WInter Olympics Milano Cortina 2026—his prediction, “It’ll be a sweep there.” 

Chris Corning followed in sixth place with a score of 65.11, putting his best run down on his final attempt, but not improving over his fourth place finish in PyeongChang 2018. First time Olympian Sean FitzSimons finished in twelfth, unable to put down a run despite qualifying in third coming into these finals and settling for a score of 29.61.

Canada’s Max Parrot earned gold with a score of 90.96, followed by China’s Su Yuming with a score of 88.70 for silver, and Canada’s Mark McMorris with an 88.53 to earn his third Olympic bronze medal.

The U.S. slopestyle team will be back at it in Big Air with qualifiers scheduled for Feb. 14th.
