Finals

The four semifinalists who failed to advanced to the big final competed in the small final to determine 5th through 8th places. The four last place finishers in the quarterfinals contested a 13th-16th classification race, while the third-placed finishers raced for 9th through 13th.[2]

In the large final, American Lindsey Jacobellis had a clear lead heading to the final hill, but failed in an unnecessary attempt at a twisting grab in the air, falling and allowing Tanja Frieden to sweep past her and claim the gold medal.[3]
