Tjäder's first run delivered only 36.43 points, the eighteenth-best of 28 skaters. The second run was significantly better.

His second run scored 79.83 points, good for third place in the qualifiers, and the Swede will therefore compete in the final on Tuesday.

For Swede Martin Nordqvist, however, there will be no final. The 22-year-old's best run was 46.00 points, which was not enough. Nordqvist will instead focus on the big air qualifiers next week.

Henrik Harlaut suffered a concussion during Friday's training and did not participate in today's competition. The hope is that the 34-year-old will be able to participate in the big air qualifiers.
