Lynch, born in Dublin and raised in Rathmines before moving to Canada, qualified for the men's freestyle halfpipe final at Milano-Cortina. Adverse weather delayed the event by 24 hours. Lynch recorded a clean first run scoring 57.00 and then landed a right double cork 12 on his second run, a trick he had not completed in training, earning a personal-best 75.75 to place 11th and secure a spot in the final. Alex Ferreira won gold, Henry Sildaru silver and Mackay bronze, with Lynch finishing eighth overall.
