Weather played havoc with competition at the Winter Games yesterday, the men's giant slalom at Coronet Peak postponed and the World Cup snowboard slopestyle cut short at Cardrona.
Two of the men's four heats were put off until today, as was the entire women's qualifying. Legendary American Shaun White crashed out in training, but compatriot Eric Willett won the first heat with a score of 88.66. Norwegian Gjermund Braaten won the second with an impressive 91.00.
