Aerials: Chinese dominate Lake Placid podium
The Chinese aerials skiers sat out the World Cup opening competition in Mont Gabriel last week then charged into Lake Placid, N.Y. last night (Jan. 20) well rested and ready to jump.
Chinese jumpers took all but one podium spot led by Mengtao XU with the women’s win and Zongyang Jia taking the men’s victory.
American Dylan Ferguson led the home team in fifth. Ferguson was bumped out of the Super Finals on the last semifinal jump.
“I was really happy with my jumps today. Of course I was bummed to be knocked right out of super finals but today was my career best result,” said Ferguson whose previous best was a sixth-place result. “I’m glad that we’ve got comp tomorrow so that I can work out any kinks that were in my jumps tonight. Overall I’m happy with the results.”
Two American men had their first World Cup start, Mac Bohonnon (Madison, CT) finished 19th and Alex Bowen (Springville, NY) was 32nd.
Emily Cook was the top U.S. woman in eighth, followed by Allison Lee in ninth.
Three U.S. ladies made their World Cup debut. Madison Olsen (Park City, UT) 13th just missed the finals, with Kiley McKinnon (Madison, CT) 15th and Madison Gorelik (Park City, UT) 17th.
There will be a second night aerials contest for both the men and women in Lake Placid tonight.
