ZHANGJIAKOU — Red Gerard and Jamie Anderson came into the 2022 Olympics as defending slopestyle champs. They both left the event this week without medals, the first time the United States has failed to capture gold in the slopestyle event’s existence.
After Anderson finished ninth in the women's event on Sunday, Gerard followed with a fourth-place finish on Monday in the men's version. Gerard had a better shot — he was bumped off the podium by the last possible challenger who could have done it — but he’ll leave the Olympics’ mountain venue empty-handed.
Canada's Max Parrot snatched the gold this time around by dropping a 90.
