Competing in her second Olympic Winter Games, snowboarder Aimee Fuller has finished 17th in the ladies' slopestyle in challenging conditions at Phoenix Snow Park.
The event was won by defending Olympic champion Jamie Anderson (USA) ahead of reigning World Champion Laurie Blouin (Canada) while Sochi silver medallist Enni Rukajarvi (Finland) took the bronze.
Qualifying was cancelled yesterday due to high winds with all athletes moving through to a two-run straight final this morning.
The start of today's final was again delayed by the conditions and while there was some doubt as to whether the competition would, and should, go ahead, proceedings were underway more than an hour after the scheduled start time.
Fuller took a positive attitude into both runs, but was forced to pull up short on the second kicker on her first run, and after a solid second trip through the course she came unstuck on the final jump when the wind grabbed her board from underneath her and sent her crashing to the snow.
After matching her 17th place from Sochi, the 26-year-old was disappointed that inconsistent weather conditions played such an influential role in deciding Olympic medals.
"Conditions today were definitely a challenge," she said. "It was for sure not what I wanted, not what I expected, not what I dreamed of for my Olympic final, but it is what it is.
"There were huge gusts of wind. I've decided to call it the 'PyeongChang Gust'. Some riders were very lucky. If you got a drop in the wind you could get through and have a cruisy run.
"In general, I think for the most part everyone struggled. And I'm happy to see everyone's in one piece.
"Looking at the long range forecast this was the best day to do it. Unfortunately it wasn't the best day for our sport. Some people got lucky and I didn't."
Fuller will now look ahead to next Monday when snowboard big air gets underway at the Alpensia Ski Jumping Centre, another venue which has had weather disruptions already at these Games.
"I'm hoping that it's a little more sheltered at the big air stadium," said Fuller. "As it's in a stadium, I'm hoping that the wind won't be so much of a factor."
