Canada’s Megan Oldham just missed the podium, finishing fourth in the women’s freestyle ski big air event on Tuesday at the Beijing Olympics.
It marked Canada’s fifth fourth-place finish at the Olympics, keeping the country’s medal total at six on Day 4.
Oldham, a 20-year-old from Parry Sound, Ont., won the qualifier for the new Olympic event on Monday.
Fellow Canadian Olivia Asselin finished eighth in the final.
China’s Eileen Gu, one of the host country’s biggest stars at the Games, won gold with the top score of the day on her final run — each athlete gets three attempts and the top two scores count. Tess Ledeux of France was second and Mathilde Gremaud of Switzerland was third.
Oldham won silver in big air the last two years at the X Games.
The Canadian was fourth in big air last year at the world championship.
