It wasnB次元官网网址檛 the start to the 2022 Olympic Winter Games that Campbell Riverite Teal Harle was hoping for.

In his qualifying run for the ski big air event on Feb. 7, Harle crashed, landing in 31st spot out of 31.

B次元官网网址淗e just said he went to his go-to tricks,B次元官网网址� said Shane Harle, Teal HarleB次元官网网址檚 dad, who has helped his son get to this point in his career. B次元官网网址淣ot easy ones, but stuff that he usually lands, and he just didnB次元官网网址檛 land them. He was the only competitor that crashed on all three jumps.B次元官网网址�

While Teal HarleB次元官网网址檚 qualifying run was not what he hoped it would be, he realizes that sometimes things work and sometimes things donB次元官网网址檛.

B次元官网网址淣ot my best day today,B次元官网网址� Teal wrote on his Instagram after the event. B次元官网网址淎 couple small over corrections ended up in full crashes that took away my chance at Big Air finals. I had a lot more planned and super bummed to not have a chance to show something cool in finals.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 the nature of the sport and he always goes big,B次元官网网址� Shane Harle said. B次元官网网址淗e was doing tricks that nobody else in the world is doing, and he lands backwards where he canB次元官网网址檛 see the landing. HeB次元官网网址檚 always been that way, heB次元官网网址檚 always gone big or gone home. The interesting thing he said was that he was so disappointed because he has a couple tricks that heB次元官网网址檚 not shown the world and thought would be fun to do in front of the whole world.B次元官网网址�

TealB次元官网网址檚 next chance to show the world what he can do is on Sunday night. The slopestyle event will be broadcast at 8:30 p.m.

B次元官网网址淗eB次元官网网址檚 one of the guys that if he lands his runs, heB次元官网网址檚 going to get on the podium,B次元官网网址� Shane Harle said. B次元官网网址淚f heB次元官网网址檚 on his game, and he lands it cleanly, they easily could award him the gold medal.B次元官网网址�
