James Woods qualifies for the men's slopestyle skiing final despite hurting his hip at the beginning of his second run.

Great Britain's James Woods has qualified for the final of the men's ski slopestyle thanks to a score of 87.20 in his first run.

American Joss Christensen led the way with his score of 93.20, while his teammates Nicholas Goepper (87.00) and Gus Henworthy (86.40) as well as Norway's Andreas Haatveit (88.00) will all join Woods in the final.

During Woods's second run, the 22-year-old appeared to pull up injured midway through, but he insisted afterwards that he would not let it have an impact as he battles to secure a medal.

"It really hurts," Woods told BBC Sport. "It was the pain, and the fact that I realised the trick wasn't perfect.

"I certainly wanted both runs. My first run was good and I was happy with that. I didn't want to give up on my second run, but on that takeoff I felt a twang and we are chasing perfection here."

The final of the men's slopestyle skiing competition will take place later today.
