Tess Coady Books Spot in Snowboard Slopestyle Final

Tess Coady has a spot in Sunday's women's slopestyle final after landing two solid runs on the opening day of competition.

The 21-year-old was out for redemption after an injury ended her PyeongChang 2018 Olympic campaign during a training session.

Showing her skills across one of the most stunning Olympic venues, Tess landed a solid first run with 55.98 that put her sitting in 7th position heading into the second run. 

She came out looking more comfortable in the second run, and her score of 71.13 reflected just that, and used that score to qualify 8th as one of 12 finalists.

"I was pretty happy to land my first run because I got smoked on my last round of practice," Tess said.

"So it was kind of stretching at the top but that probably always helped the nerves because at that point I was literally just like, 'Oh, I've got to land something.'

"I didn't really have time to get caught up in all the crowd and the hype, because I was just getting down the course.

"I was stoked to make it better on my second run. It came together and I'm stoked to get a pretty good score."
