The 2024-2025 FIS Freeski and Snowboard Halfpipe World Cup opened in Chongli, northwest of Beijing, on Thursday.
The women's freestyle skiing qualifications were postponed to December 7 due to strong winds and snow, leaving only the men's freeski competition on the first day.
The event was full of surprises, with several top athletes, including current world No. 1 Alex Ferreira, making mistakes during their runs.
