Winter X Games 12: Day 4 Recap The 2008 Winter X Games is officially in the books. Yesterday, possibly the most exciting day of the four-day event, was the final day of the exciting X Games held in Aspen, Colorado. Shaun White finished off the games with a Gold Medal in the Men's Snowboard SuperPipe Finals, redeeming himself after last year's Silver medal in the event. [edit] Men's Ski Slopestyle Qualifying: Twenty Skiers were fighting for ten spots in the Finals. Andreas Hatveit, one of the best skiers today, qualified first, and Jon Olsson, and Colby West qualified 2nd, and 3rd in the qualifying. Here is all ten skiers that qualified for the finals. Results (Best Score): Andreas Hatveit 91.33 Jon Olsson 89.33 Colby West 87.33 Charles Gagnier 85.33 Thomas Dolplads 83.33 JF Houle 77.66 Tanner Rainville 74.66 Jossi Wells 74.66 Anders Backe 72.00 Peter Olenick 66.33 [edit] Men's Ski Slopestyle Finals: After his second run of 90.00, 17-year old Jossi Wells was headed for a Gold Medal in the Slopestyle. But, Andreas Hatveit was the last guy to take his second, and final run, and he beat Wells with a score of 94.00. So, Hatveit took the Gold, but Wells was still the youngest medalist in WXG history at the age of 17. The Skiing Slopestyle event was one of the most exciting events of the day (along with the Skier X, and SNB SuperPipe events). The ice had cooled off, making it hard, and slippery, which just makes it more fun to watch. Results (Run 1/Run 2/Best Score): GOLD: Andreas Hatveit (36.66/94.00/ 94.00) SILVER: Jossi Wells (90.00/28.33/ 90.00) BRONZE: Jon Olsson (87.00/82.00/ 87.00) 4TH: Colby West (22.33/85.00/ 85.00) 5TH: Charles Gagnier (83.00/55.00/ 83.00) 6TH: JF Houle (79.00/19.66/ 79.00) 7TH: Anders Backe (76.00/75.33/ 76.00) 8TH: Tanner Rainville (72.00/67.00/ 72.00) 9TH: Thomas Dolplads (40.00/70.66/ 70.66) 10TH: Peter Olenick (60.00/30.66/ 60.00) [edit] Men's/Women's Skier X Finals: The Skier X event (Men's and Women's), was probably the most d...
