James Woods agonisingly missed out on claiming an historic fifth medal of the Pyeongchang Games for Great Britain when he finished fourth in men’s ski slopestyle

Woods entered the last of three final runs in bronze medal position thanks to a second run score of 91.00.

But he was knocked off the podium by a later run from American Nick Goepper, who took silver, with Canada’s Alex Beaulieu-Marchand claiming bronze.

Woods’ finish was one better than he managed in Sochi four years ago but it will come as no consolation to the Sheffield star who came to the Games as a strong medal contender.

Woods told BBC Sport: “It’s devastating to miss out on a medal but the skiing was great and I have no shame in saying that I went for a run that I thought could win this.

“I’m incredibly proud of myself and the skiing from all of the competitors. I believed I could win this thing but you have to be perfect and I was a little bit off.”
