So close and yet so far for O'Connor in Sochi

Ireland's Seamus O'Connor has missed out on a place in the men's half-pipe final at the Winter Olympics in Sochi today.

O'Connor's best score of 54 points during this afternoon's semi-final was only good enough for an nineth-place finish, with only the top six riders progressing to join the 12-strong field for this evening's final.
