Fontaine finished 10th followed by Bean, and lastly Capicik in 12th place. David Belhumeur was not in the competition because he fell badly during practice.

He was good but not spectacular. Brassard said he regrets having carried the Canadian flag in the opening ceremony because of the curse of the flag-bearer. Ryan Johnson was seventh and Stephane Rochon finished a disappointing eighth place. Women's Aerials Nikki Stone of the United States won the gold medal. She scored 98.15 on her first jump and 94.85 on the second for a total of 193.00 points. Nannan Xu of China won the silver with 186.97 points. Her last jump scored 99.40 points but it wasn't enough.

She led after the preliminaries and her final run looked good enough at the very least a bronze. However, the judges gave Pelchat 23.95 points to put her out of the medals and in tears. Tami Bradley was the other Canadian in the final. She had a major slip in her final run and finished last out of the 16 finalists.
