Ormerod finished 25th in the qualification round, missing out on the final, but having come through the slopestyle and Big Air competitions injury-free, the 24-year-old is now looking forward to Italy in four years' time.

She told BBC Sport: "I've come here, done my best and got the experience of competing at the Olympic Games and having experience of that pressure. I know I can go forward to 2026 with a lot of confidence."
