Freestyle Skiing - men's dual moguls
Introduced at the GOAT, Mikael Kingsbury does not disappoint with a superb run and advances to the next round.
He was 0.69 seconds quicker than Matyas Kroupa of the Czech Republic and gets the nod from the judges on the technical aspects as well to earn a convincing 25-10 win.
Kingsbury's Canadian team-mate Julien Viel got a bye in the first round, as did Japan's Ikuma Horishima and gold medallist in the men's individual moguls event, Cooper Woods of Australia.
There is an almost farcically long wait for the two Americans in the 10th heat - "this is crazy" you can hear them saying - and it seems even more bizarre when it is scored 23-12 in favour of Charlie Mickel.
Pretty comfortable so who knows why it took so long for the scores to be announced.
