U.S. snowboarder Jamie Anderson fails to qualify for big air final.

Putting a quiet end to a difficult Winter Olympics, Jamie Anderson of the United States failed to advance to the women’s big air snowboarding final on Monday, a disappointing finish after she earned a silver medal in the event’s debut at the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Anderson, 31, fell during her first two runs before landing her third: a front double 1080. But big air combines the best two scores out of a snowboarder’s three attempts to produce a final score, and Anderson’s performance was only good enough to put her in 12th place, briefly.
