Kirsty Muir had high hopes when she landed a stunning left double 1620, moving into medal contention after two rounds. However, with just four jumps remaining, Italy's Flora Tabanelli, who tore her ACL in November, performed the same trick but scored higher (94.25 points), denying Muir a podium finish.
The Briton, who has finished fourth before, stated: "I really did have to go for it." Meanwhile, Canadian Maxime Oldham claimed the gold medal in a thrilling conclusion to the competition.
