Overview
- Team doctors cleared the three-time slopestyle bronze medallist to compete at Milano Cortina, and he completed on-course training in Livigno on Friday.
- He said he was feeling “pretty darn good” after riding and credited the extra recovery days and clear weather for easing his return.
- A Feb. 4 practice fall in big air left him with a concussion, bruising at the top of his pelvis and a strained abdomen after catching a “snow snake,” and he briefly lost consciousness.
- He withdrew from big air and now shifts fully to slopestyle, with qualifying scheduled for Monday and the final on Wednesday.
- McMorris is viewed as a medal threat given his three Olympic bronzes in slopestyle and a recent X Games victory.
