    New Zealand has made an epic start to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy


    All three snowboarders in the Big Air are among the 12 who have qualified for the medal round from a field of 30.

    Lyon Farrell was the final competitor on the ramp...and the Sky Commentators reckon he nailed his third and final run.



    Farrell finished with the 7th highest qualifying score, while Rocco Jamieson was in 8th spot and Dane Menzies came in 11th.
