Ireland's Seamus O'Connor has failed to qualify for the men's halfpipe final at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The American-born snowboarder finished 15th overall in the event, in which he needed to finish inside the top 12 to advance to the final.
O'Connor, who is appearing at his third games, was ranked 11th after the first runs with a score of 57.00, but his second run of 10.25 was 20th best.
He told RTE: "It was one of those days.
"I had a ton of fun, snowboarding to me is the funnest thing in the world and every day that I get to ride a snowboard I'm thankful.
"My first run was a little bit sketchy. I had it down better yesterday. But I was really looking towards my second run to come back and clean it up and put that Seamus signature on but something went wrong on the take-off of my first trick on the second run and had to pull out of the double which then ended the run for me.
"But it's snowboarding and it's never perfect and that's alright."
He added: "To be at my third Games, overall it's been an incredible experience."
