Freestyle skier Dara Howell, a gold medallist in women’s slopestyle four years ago in Sochi, finished a disappointing 21st.
The 23-year-old from Huntsville, Ont., who admitted she tore a knee ligament in November, is already looking ahead to 2022.
"My dad is going to kill me. I just said to him: ‘OK I’ve gotta go four more years,"’ an emotional Howell said with a laugh. "I think every Olympics is a different experience and you learn so much along the way. We’ll see but I just don’t think I’m done.
"I still have stuff to prove to myself."
Yuki Tsubota of Whistler, B.C., was the top Canadian — and the only one of three to make the final. She placed sixth with a score of 74.40 points.
Kim Lamarre of Lac Beauport, Que., the bronze medallist from Sochi, was 22nd.
