00:00 Liam Rivera came on to the tour with a splash last year and this year quite hasn't quite had the luck
00:06 but he's got a 10th and a 6th he's sitting in 9th overall if he wins here today he is guaranteed to
00:12 make the cut anything above fifth into maybe sixth or below he's out so Liam has his work
00:18 cut out for him here as he pushes out of the start gate to get his campaign underway. We've seen what
00:24 those top four runs look like Derek so for Liam he knows what he has to put down dropping into
00:33 the face and heading for this first cliff lining it up cross court backside 360. Slow speed bomb
00:41 drop 360. Beautiful landing yeah that was actually textbook perfect now Liam going way out he's
00:47 following a couple of tracks from the early riders finding another spin and making it look
00:55 so easy making his way down a third hit back flip yes Liam Rivera so clean perfect connection
01:05 catching control now as he comes in below the Hugo Serra meatball launching sidecourt off this
01:11 one and turning it into a double I wondered if anyone would get over there Liam lacing that that
01:16 was a spectacular run from the young Swiss rider and you can see the body language he is fired up
01:21 just a little gentle claim having his moment that was a spectacular run Derek he really put it down
01:30 he made every single feature count he sure did and a lot of the other riders on that wind feature
01:36 in the middle had trouble getting maybe as much air as as maybe they wanted to could be benefited
01:41 from from the track but Liam putting a huge backflip in there that was unreal I'm so stoked
01:47 he's got to be stoked as well the handshake that was very official it was a bit all business here
02:00 all right Katie this replay what a great run from Liam Rivera now he we now know that he moved into
02:06 that one a little slower so he could set up that backside 360 to start off his run and making his
02:12 way to the second feature where he got another front side 360 in before making his way sort of
02:19 cross court to find this other feature where he threw a backflip look at how clean so smooth that
02:25 landing was impeccable yeah connecting the tail and then taking this one on a slightly different
02:31 angle to allow him to do this so smooth turning that into two massive airs back to back to finish
02:38 off that run look at just how comfortable he was putting in a little bit of a brake check
02:43 that was that was just absolutely glorious and then down here white rooming himself
02:50 you gotta get those face shots when the snow conditions are like this so a great run from
02:55 the young swiss rider and a big answer after a couple of tough events for Liam so the judges
03:01 now they've got their work cut out for them is that going to trouble Victor I don't know I mean
03:04 Victor's top was really strong Liam got the backflip there but Victor threed in in the bottom
03:11 section but Liam got a whole other cliff after that well they've had their say now here's the
03:14 score coming in 86 so Liam into a podium spot in third position oh well we I mean there's definite
03:23 connotations here yeah towards the cut Liam did what he needed to do if it was first it was a
03:28 guarantee if it was in the top five it was a maybe depending on what
