Snowboarding at the 2010 Winter Olympics – Men's halfpipe


The men's halfpipe competition of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics was held at Cypress Mountain on February 17, 2010.

Summary

In each round of competition, each competitor performed two rides through the halfpipe. The highest-scoring run determined whether or not the competitor continued to the next round. In each round the order of performance was based on the inverse order of scoring.
The first round was the qualifying round, with 40 snowboarders divided into two heats. The top nine scorers from each heat advanced; the top three scorers went straight to the final round while the fourth- through ninthplace scorers went to a semifinal round.
The semifinal round consisted of twelve snowboarders. The top six from that group joined the six top scorers from the qualifying round for the finals.
In the final round, Shaun White had already wrapped up the gold medal performance with his first run, but performed his second run anyway, successfully completing a double McTwist 1260 and improving on his initial score.
