McMorris Falls Short, Canada Misses Slopestyle Podium at Cortina 2026

Mark McMorris finished eighth and Cameron Spalding ninth in the men's slopestyle final at Milano Cortina 2026, missing the podium. Su Yiming of China won gold.

Mark McMorris, the 25‑time X Games medallist, fell in two of three attempts and finished eighth in the 12‑man final. He suffered a concussion, pelvic bone bruising and an abdominal strain during a big‑air crash on Feb. 4, forcing him to withdraw from the big‑air event.

Cameron Spalding, the 2024‑25 World Cup champion, placed ninth, two spots behind McMorris. Su Yiming of China took gold, Taiga Hasegawa of Japan earned silver and Jake Canter of the U.S. captured bronze.
