“Disappointing. I didn’t manage to do what I’d planned,” said Oleksandr Okipniuk of his performance in the final of the team ski acrobatics tournament
For the first time in history, the Ukrainian national team competed in the team ski acrobatics event at the Winter Olympics. After the second round of jumps, the Ukrainian team dropped from second place to fifth — Oleksandr Okipniuk failed to land his jump cleanly. At the end of the final round, the Ukrainians finished sixth, ahead of the Kazakhstani team, but failed to qualify for the super-final.
