The men's Slopestyle competition was more a battle against Mother Nature than among the athletes. Yet despite the failing conditions and poor visibility the riders still managed to throw big air and sick tricks, including a white-knuckle final round, in which leader Peter Line watched the big screen in agony as Kevin Jones nailed a smooth round. Would he steal the medal -- and the gold -- from Line, who had bombed on his final run?
