PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (Reuters) - Four years ago in Sochi, Canada's Dara Howell shocked the world as a 19-year-old to win the inaugural Olympic freestyle skiing slopestyle event.

But this time around it was a very different result, as she failed to successfully land either run during qualifying and finish 21st. With the top 12 going through to the final, Howell failed to give herself the chance to defend her Olympic title.
