In his return to the Winter Olympics, Aspen’s Alex Ferreira picked up another medal, claiming the bronze after finishing third in the halfpipe at the Beijing Games.
The 27-year-old Ferreira, who also won silver in Pyeongchang four years ago, threw down a 86.75-point first run that stood through the windy competition. New Zealand’s Nico Porteous won Olympic gold — he won bronze in 2018 — while Nevada’s David Wise won silver, ending his two-year reign as the Olympic champion.
