Cork-born double Olympian Brendan 'Bubba' Newby has finished 20th in the qualifying rounds of the Freestyle Skiing Halfpipe today, with a score of 47.0 which was achieved in the second run. 

It's an improvement of two places on Newby's 22nd in Pyeongchang four years ago. but not enough for qualification for the finals, with the top 12 finishers going forward.
