15-year-old Sky Remans faced a disappointing outcome at the Big Air event during the Winter Olympics. Competing for the first time as an Olympian, the young Belgian snowboarder aimed for a spot in the finals but fell short due to a critical error.
Qualified Efforts

Unfortunately, during her last jump, Sky was unable to achieve the necessary landing. She fell, once again losing control and finishing with a cumulative score that did not suffice for advancement.
