Canada’s Jenna Blasman eliminated in women’s slopestyle semifinal at Sochi Games
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia – Canadian snowboarder Jenna Blasman has been eliminated from the women’s slopestyle competition at the Sochi Olympics.
She finished 11th in this morning’s semifinal at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park.
Blasman, from Kitchener, Ont., had a disappointing first run and then flubbed a landing early in her second and final run.
Sarka Pancochova of the Czech Republic, Sina Candrian of Switzerland, Great Britain’s Jenny Jones and Silje Norendal of Norway took the top four spots to advance.
Spencer O’Brien of Courtenay, B.C., had a strong qualifying run last Thursday to book her spot in the 12-woman final, which will be held later in the day.
Slopestyle is making its Olympic debut at the Sochi Games.
