Lloyd Wallace finished 21st overall in the Aerials.
He landed a superb jump for a 108.41 score in his first Qualifying run, but it wasn’t enough to see him through to the finals on his second visit to the Olympic Winter Games.

How High Do Aerialists Go?
Really high!
A 1999 study recorded the skiers vertically climb 5.5m from a 4m high kicker, so 9.5m, thats over 30 feet! Then the steep landing slopes away increasing the drop by another 9.2m. In total they drop over 60 feet to landing. (Wylye 1999)
It's now it is less than 6 months to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. @Lloyd_Wallace has qualified and is training hard with the Swiss Team.
Here’s a short video of his progress and performance which are now close to podium potential.
Exciting news from IOC, Mixed Team Aerials is now an Olympic event and will debut at Beijing 2022 Olympics. This will be hotly contested by the big nations USA, Russia and hosts China.

@snowedleigh@Lloyd_Wallace @djmikewheeler @BBCSport Ski big air would be a good addition to the Olympic program but no need to forsake aerials which clearly has entirely different and unusual countries being successful like China Ukraine Belarus Kazakhstan and Australia makes it a bonus & why Team Aerials will prob be 🏅 in 2022.
