Torah Bright Wins Olympic Gold

Torah Bright won the gold medal in the women's halfpipe competiton. After falling on her first run, Bright had to lead off the second run. She made a statement with a clean technical run including a backside 360, switch backside 720,  and cab 720 that put her in first place with 45 points.  Hannah Teter had taken the lead in the first run with a score of 42.4.

Kelly Clark fell on her first run, but put down a very strong run with big amplitude and clean tricks to take the Bronze medal.

Hannah Teter, who won Gold in Torino, was the final competitor and dropped in with a chance to unthrone Torah Bright. She put down a run with big air, but didn't have the tricks to top Torah and took Silver.

The finals were marred by falls by many of the competitors. Gretchen Bleiler and Elena Hight fell on both of their runs. 

Spain's Queralt Castellet, who suprised the field by qualifying third, pulled out of the finals after falling in practice and receiving a concussion.
