At the end of an'' other thrilling finale, with the first four enclosed in little more than a point, the'' gold went to Kaitlyn Harrington, perhaps the least of the three listed on the U.S., thanks to the 91.75 obtained in the second run.
The Harrington precedes the'' Australian Torah Bright, for a breath repeats not got the'' gold four years ago in Vancouver, redeeming a'' dull first run and ending with a score of 91.50, just 25 hundredths of a point behind'' America.
Duel in the stars and stripes for the bronze medal, which eventually goes to the neck of the great favorite of the vigil, Kelly Clark, who took home the third Olympic medal after the'' gold in Salt Lake City in 2002 and bronze in Vancouver 2010. The result, however, can not satisfy the'' 30 year old expert of Newport, winner of the last 4 editions of the Winter X Games in the halfpipe'' but also two races of the World Cup quest'' year.
A stay without the coin is the third of the U.S., the'' gold in Turin in 2006 and Vancouver 2010 silver l'' Hannah Teter, and also in this case are 25 basis points to separate the two Americans.
Disappointed of the day without doubt the Chinese, who bring home only one-sixth, eighth, and ninth place respectively with Xuetong Cai, Shuang Li and Liu Jiayu seen, however, the young age of all three is the future of everything from their side.
