LIVIGNO, Italy (AP) — Tormod Frostad of Norway won the gold medal in big air freeskiing at the Milan Cortina Olympics, beating Mac Forehand of the United States on the last jump of a high-scoring final on Tuesday night.
Forehand moved ahead of Frostad on the second-to-last jump, only for Frostad to reclaim the top spot on the last jump of the 12-man final. Frostad finished with 195.50 points to Forehand’s 193.25.
Matej Svancer of Austria claimed the bronze with 191.25 points.
The 23-year-old Frostad was competing in his second Winter Games.
Defending champion Birk Ruud of Norway finished eighth after crashing on two of his runs. He won gold in slopestyle last week.
