The Olympic Pregames Part IV

And now it's time for......

WOMEN'S MOGULS (a favorite here in K301)

Defending gold medalist Hannah Kearney, USA, is trying to make Olympic history in these games by being the first-ever two-time women's moguls gold medalist. 
The course has already proven treacherous, as Heidi Kloser suffered a serious knee injury at an early stage in the competition. 

Eliza Outtrim replaced Kloser in this event for Team USA and got a score of 21.51. Her USA teammate, Heather McPhie completed her signature trick, an off-axis 720 and earned a 19.52
Maxime Dufour-LaPointe of Canada scored 20.88, while her youngest sister, Justine, scored a 22.28. Their third sister, Chloe scored a 22.64, confirming that all three of the Dufour-LaPointes qualified for the finals of women's moguls.
Kearney's qualifying run was not one of her best, but with a score of 23.05, she managed to secure the first spot in the round.
