We suspected that James Woods was there to be shot at and so it has proved. Canada's Alex Beaulieu-Marchand goes second with a score of 92.40 - 1.40 points ahead of Woods.

Expect more challengers to come, too...

Paul Williams: Whenever you watch the freestyle athletes...your just massively impressed with what they do. You could watch it loads of time and still be impressed

Lewlew: How good is slopestyle BTW! Wrecking my sleep pattern once again Come on James Woodsy.

To refresh your memory, Great Britain had never won a skiing medal until Izzy Atkin took bronze in this event yesterday. It could be two in two days.

This might not even be Woods' best discipline. His X Games gold of 2017 came in big air.

To add some context, and perhaps temper expectations, Woods' score would only have been good enough for seventh in qualifying.

However, there are a lot of skiers falling in this final.

Jane Pike: That's more like it!!

Dave Roopchand: Come on Woodsy!!

Woodsy is really liked by the freeski community.

That was huge. GB's freeskier throws down a run that showcases him at his very best.

Take a deep breath. That was majestic.

He's one of the best slopestyle skiers in the world and he's laid it down when it matters.

James Woods is in silver medal position!

The GB skier moves second with a score of 91.00!

If he can stay in the top three, a fifth medal of the Games would make this GB's most successful Winters.

That cut from the first run means Woods is wearing a big blue plaster on his chin.

The heartbeat music as we wait...

Woods landed that third jump pretty much on one leg. Were the rails good enough for a medal-winning score?

First jump landed. Second too. Can he hang on for the third?

Yes!

He likes it!

Two rails. Over the goalposts. Third rail. A grab...

Sixth for Ambuehl.

Here comes James Woods.

Shakes out the skis again. Few words to himself. A smile. Off he goes...

Is that really necessary?

The coach of Elias Ambuehl sprinkles snow down the back of the neck of the Swiss before he sets off. The skiing equivalent of smelling salts?

It works too. He's clean after a first-run fall.

Who wants to ski with Elias?

Slopestyle - like most of the alpine events - is actually quite a difficult competition to follow, in that you can’t see the entire course from the bottom of the slope.

Sure, you see the athletes attempt to land the most dramatic final big ‘kicker’ but for the rest of the run fans must follow on giant TV screens.

What is going on with that patch of snow after the first rail? First Oscar Wester, now second-placed Evan McEachran has contrived to eat snow for no reason. It's like seeing a footballer miss his kick, or a cricketer drop a dolly.

Not a bad view from up here!

Great to see thousands of fans packed in here at the Baokwang Phoenix Park for the final slopestyle event of the Olympics!

Have to say - the wind is picking up though which is going add a lot of drama to what’s already expected to be a fascinating battle for ski slopestyle gold!

In taking that fall, Woods suffered injuries that made him look like he had taken a shave with a bread knife.

What might have been for James Woods. He's eighth, but what might this run have been worth had he not tumbled on landing in his final jump.

What a mistake that was from Oscar Wester!

He has literally fallen over for no reason. He wouldn't have looked out of place at Tamworth Snowdome on beginner lesson number two.

Sweden's Oscar Wester, who topped qualifying, somehow manages to fall when he's nowhere near an obstacle.

The last man out, he shrugs his shoulders as he sees himself 11th on the leaderboard.

Run two will start pretty much immediately.
