[OLYMPICS] USA's Mac Forehand Takes Silver in Men's Ski Big Air - SnowBrains

"Norway's Frostad ended up coming away with the gold medal after putting down two incredible runs. Frostad's second run, a switch right double bio 1620 (four and a half rotations), would earn him a 97.00, putting him in a solid position for his third run. Narrowly trailing American Mac Forehand, Frostad finished his final run with a nose butter right double bio 1620, earning a 98.50, propelling him to a combined score of 195.50 and a gold medal at the Olympics."

"Team USA's Mac Forehand grabbed the silver medal after his own impressive performance in the event. Forehand did two variations of triple cork 2160s (six rotations), earning him a 95.00 and a 98.25 for a combined score of 193.25, which gave him the lead. Frostad would answer on his final run, retaking gold medal position and bumping Forehand into silver. The silver is Forehand's first Olympic medal."

Mac Forehand took silver with a combined 193.25 from two triple cork 2160s, marking his first Olympic medal. Matej Svancer earned bronze with 191.35.
