SALT LAKE CITY – Park City resident Maggie Voisin barely missed out on reaching the podium and collecting a medal in the Women’s Slopestyle Final event at the Winter Olympics.
The Women’s Slopestyle Final took place at Genting Snow Park on Monday, February 14.
University of Utah alumna Marin Hamill had previously qualified for the Final but was unable to compete after suffering a leg injury in a crash during the Qualification event. She was one of 12 finalists for the Final.
Voisin nearly captured a medal with her performance in the event. She was ranked sixth after her run and eighth after all snowboarders took their first run.
With her second try, Voisin jumped into third place and set herself up for a potential medal.
Unfortunately for Voisin, her third run wasn’t enough to overcome two snowboarders that leaped her on the leaderboard late.
Voisin finished in fifth place.
