Did American Alessandro Barbieri make the podium in the men's snowboard halfpipe competition?
Seventeen-year-old Alessandro Barbieri scored 75 in the Olympic halfpipe final but fell short of the podium amid top scores in the 90s from competitors, officials said.
- In Milan on Friday, February 13, the 17-year-old Italian snowboarder finished 10th in the men's halfpipe final at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics with a top score of 75.
- Attempting a frontside triple cork 1440, Barbieri slipped on his second and third runs and received no score on at least one, missing the podium threshold of 92.
- On Wednesday he qualified with an 88.50, the fourth-best score, while the halfpipe format gives riders three runs with only their top score counting and judges scoring from 0 to 100.
- Medal standings show Yuto Totsuka won gold with 95, Scotty James took silver with 93.50, and Ryusei Yamada earned bronze with 92; U.S. teammates finished 8th and 11th.
- With prior Youth Olympic and World Cup success, Barbieri, who made his World Cup debut at 15, shows a rising trajectory despite his Olympic setback.
