James
LIVIGNO, Italy (AP) --- Japanese snowboarder Yuto Totsuka won the Olympic gold
medal in men's halfpipe at the Milan Cortina Games on Friday and Scotty James
of Australia repeated as the silver medalist.
Totsuka laid down a massive second run that earned him 95 points.
James had the last run of the final after he topped qualifying on Wednesday.
But the Australian fell near the end of his run, failing to improve on his
second-run score of 93.50.
The 31-year-old Australian collected his third medal after winning silver at
the 2022 Beijing Olympics and bronze four years earlier at the Pyeongchang
Games.
Ryusei Yamada of Japan took bronze on Friday.
The 24-year-old Totsuka, competing at the Olympics for the third time, is
currently leading the World Cup halfpipe standings.
