Valenta completed five twists in three flips to take the gold, while defending Olympic champion Eric Bergoust, in first place after the first jump, fell on the second after jumping too hard and ended up in last place.[1]
[edit] Men's moguls
Before a crowd of 14,237, Lahtela performed a near-flawless run with a quad twist and triple twist spread to win the gold.[2]
Jonny Moseley, the defending Olympic champion and crowd favorite performed his unusual Dinner Roll jump in both the preliminary and final rounds but was slower than the medalists, and finished fourth.[3]
