Alex Beaulieu-Marchand of Quebec City placed last in the men’s ski slopestyle final. He was the lone Canadian competing.
Beaulieu-Marchand fell off the rail in his first run in the final. It paralleled his first run in qualifications, in which he committed a similar error.
He pulled it together in his second qualification run scoring 85.60, which was good for sixth in a field of 32 skiers. Only the top 12 advanced to the final.
Fellow Canadian Olympic skiers Philippe Marquis, Marc-Antoine Gagnon, and Mikael Kingsbury were there to cheer on their countryman.

Americans Joss Christensen, Gus Kenworthy, and Nicholas Goepper placed first, second, and third. All three finished with scores above 90 en route to sweeping the podium.
