"My first run didn't go as well as I wanted to, I just landed a bit sketchy on everything, but on my second run it was really good because I landed it well with a lot of speed."I definitely wasn't thinking that it would go into first, so when I saw it I was in shock.In the women's street, top seed Chloe Covell finished fifth after she decided not to contest her final trick, suffering a bruise to her heel on a landing.
