Katie Summerhayes, from Sheffield, has missed out on the women's Big Air Ski final.

Only the top 12 made it through to the shoot-out for the medals meaning Katie Summerhayes just missed out by finishing in 13th place.

James Woods, who also missed out on the men's Big Air Ski final, is now preparing for next week's slopestyle.

Katie Summerhayes said:

“I’m really happy with the way it went. I don’t really feel like a Big Air skier, so to come 13th I’m actually really stoked,” she said.

“To miss out on finals by one spot is tough but I never thought I would finish that high.”
