Australian moguls skier Cooper Woods has confirmed he is a new star in the sport with sixth at his debut Winter Olympics.
The 21-year-old qualified among the top six on Saturday night at Zhangkiakou to reach the medal round.
He scored 78.88 in his medal run as Swede Walter Wallberg, the last competitor to ski, posted 82.18 to win the gold medal.
Defending Olympic champion Mikael Kingsbury won silver with 82.18 in a pulsating last round and Japan's Ikuma Horishima scored 81.48 for the bronze medal.
Woods scored 77.22 to finish fifth in the second final, while compatriot Brodie Summers was 10th out of the 12 competitors with 75.00 and missed out.
Earlier on Saturday night, Woods finished seventh in the first final and Summers qualified 12th out of 20, with the top 12 progressing.
But a broken collarbone was nothing compared to the pain Australian Matt Graham was feeling after making an early exit from the Games.
Graham was looking for his second Olympic medal in the moguls after a silver in PyeongChang four years ago, but was left in tears after he failed to progress past the second qualifying round at the start of Saturday's competition.
The 27-year-old needed one of his best runs to advance to the final after bombing his first qualification run on Thursday night, but instead had one of his worst in the second qualifying round.
"This is the most pain and heartbreak I've ever felt," Graham said.
"A broken collarbone obviously hurt but this hurts a hell of a lot more.
"I'm pretty heart-broken, especially after the last Olympics being such a pinnacle and to feel such elations and satisfaction - I was chasing that feeling again."
Graham had an interrupted build-up to Beijing, breaking his collarbone during a World Cup in Sweden in December and returning home to Australia after surgery to recuperate.
While he didn't want to blame having six weeks off the snow, as well as complications when he developed a haematoma, it surely affected his performance.
"I'm happy that I'm here and just to be here is an achievement but I knew I could do so much better and really push the top guys tonight ... I just didn't execute."
The wind made conditions tricky and Graham said he misjudged the top jump.
"I went left out of the top air and was just chasing my tail the whole way down."
Of the four Australian men, Summers posted the second-best score of Saturday's run to move through, while Woods moved through in fourth spot.
James Matheson was in 14th, missing progression, and announced that this would be his last Olympics.
