McMorris, 32, had a concussion, pelvic bone bruising and an abdominal strain after a crash in big‑air training, which forced him to withdraw from the big‑air event. He was cleared to compete in slopestyle and finished third in qualifying before placing eighth in the final. Spalding, 20, the 2024‑25 World Cup champion, finished tenth, two places behind McMorris.
