USA skier David Wise has claimed gold in the half-pipe final, with a first run of 92.00 enough to see off the rest of the competition.

Canada's Justin Dorey topped the qualifying round earlier in the day, but he was unable to put down a complete run and ended up finishing 12th.

Mike Riddle, also of Canada, took silver with 90.60 and he was the only other man to manage a score in the 90s. France's Kevin Rolland finished with bronze with a score of 88.60.

Great Britain's competitors Murray Buchan and James Machon were eliminated in the qualifying round.
