In the Mono Skier X final, French skier Jerome Elbrycht made the most of his first competition in the United States, taking home the gold medal with a time of 1:12.207. The final heat was ridiculously close, with four skiers within three-quarters of a second of one another.
Nikki Landeros won the silver medal with a time of 1:12.545, and Kevin Bramble won bronze with a 1:12.903 time.
Poor Josh Elliott put up an excellent time of 1:12.963, but he has no medal to show for it, finishing fourth.
