Skier Cassie Sharpe is off to a promising start in the women's halfpipe, taking the top spot in qualifying.
Sharpe, from Comox, sa国际传媒, scored 93.40 on her second run after a 93.00 on her first time down the halfpipe. In halfpipe, the best score from two runs counts.
"On my first run I just really wanted to land, that's like my biggest thing for my confidence," said Sharpe. "If I don't land my first run, I have a hard time coming back from that, so I just really wanted to land my run, and then after that I was like 'OK, I want to qualify first because I want to drop last in the final'.
"Because if you do well through that, you can drop last, and it's your victory lap. It's the best feeling in the world. So if I can get another one of those, I mean, I'm so excited."
Calgary's Rosalind Groenewoud qualified 11th with a score of 73.20. The top 12 competitors move on to Tuesday's finals.
France's Marie Martinod was second with 92.00 points and Brita Sigourney of the United States was third with 90.60 points.
