Kuhn Leads Team USA With Fifth in Women's Aerials at Olympics
Kaila Kuhn led Team USA with a fifth-place finish in women's aerials on Wednesday at the Livigno Aerials and Moguls Park in Italy.
After heavy snowfall postponed the qualifiers for both women's and men's aerials on Tuesday, athletes were forced to complete qualification and finals on the same day, showcasing their stamina and flexibility. Kuhn ended qualifiers in sixth place before earning a top-three score in the first final to send her into the superfinal, where she finished fifth.
Team USA’s Winter Vinecki also qualified for superfinals, finishing in sixth place. Tasia Tanner made it through to finals to earn an 11th place finish, and Kyra Dossa finished qualification in 14th, narrowly missing finals.
Next up is men's aerials qualification and finals on Thursday, February 19.
