New Zealand’s Luca Harrington has finished sixth in the men’s big air final at the Milan Winter Olympics, missing out on a medal.

Harrington, the reigning big air World Champion, had a great first run to sit fourth after the first round, but failed to land his second run and had a sloppy landing in his third attempt to slip down the leaderboard.

The Wānaka freeskier won bronze in last week’s men’s slopestyle.

New Zealand’s Zoi Sadowski-Synnott’s will try to defend her women’s slopestyle title tomorrow morning after today’s final was postponed due to heavy snow.
