We're set for the start of the finals of the women's snowboard slopestyle competition. Americans Karly Shorr and Jamie Anderson are among the 12 finalists; Shorr goes sixth and Anderson 12th.

Had a slip on the first jump, @siljenorendal kicked off the final, now it's @jennyjonessnow on course

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/9/2014 9:18:02 AM
full pull capped with a 720 by @jennyjonessnow ! She is lookin' cool, calm and collected in the corral! #slopestyle #sochi2014

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/9/2014 9:18:50 AM
Silje Norendal of Norway gets things started with a score of 49.50; that's not going to be nearly good enough and she'll hope for a better second run.

by Gary Kicinski via Digital First Media 2/9/2014 9:19:18 AM
Switching gears to women's slopestyle final. @Jme_Anderson & @KarlyShorr look to add to #TeamUSA 's medal count. Live: stream.nbcolympics.com/snowboarding/w…

In case you are wondering what my view looks like... #slopestyle #sochi2014 http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BgBZhw0IcAAxGgK.jpg

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/9/2014 9:21:00 AM
the trick to throw is the 720 for the women of #slopestyle , but I heard we may see a cab double cork 900 out of Anna Gasser!! #sochi2014

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/9/2014 9:21:36 AM
Here comes the only score in the 90s from semifinal, @sarkasnow has the #slopestyle goods! #sochi2014

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/9/2014 9:22:43 AM
Wonder what it looks like riding into the #slopestyle finish area? Wonder no more! #sochi2014 #oly pics instagram.com

Switzerland's Sina Candrian posts a 77.25 to take the early lead.

by Gary Kicinski via Digital First Media 2/9/2014 9:23:11 AM
That monster 720 earned @sarkasnow the top spot! Now @ennirukajarvi is challenging #slopestyle

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/9/2014 9:25:14 AM
Sarka Pancochova of Czech Republic tops that with an 86.25 to take over first place.

by Gary Kicinski via Digital First Media 2/9/2014 9:25:47 AM
Karly Shorr of the U.S. up now, after Finland's Enni Rukajarvi posts a 73.75 score to land in third.

by Gary Kicinski via Digital First Media 2/9/2014 9:27:20 AM
Out if nowhere, America's Karly Shorr has been rad to watch! Slipped out on the final #slopestyle jump but she has another go!

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/9/2014 9:28:37 AM
And the 19-year-old Californian falls on her third jump, earning a score of 39.

by Gary Kicinski via Digital First Media 2/9/2014 9:29:20 AM
Three more competitors before Jamie Anderson gets her shot in the first run.

by Gary Kicinski via Digital First Media 2/9/2014 9:30:37 AM
Canada loves pressure. We sleep with our hands in vice grips.

by cathalkelly via twitter 2/9/2014 9:31:28 AM
Time for the triple threat, @TorahBright is competing in halfpipe and snowboard cross here at #sochi2014 #olympics - on course now

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/9/2014 9:33:11 AM
2010 halfpipe gold medalist Torah Bright of Australia touches down on her first jump, keeps going, settles for a 64.75. Now it's Jamie Anderson of the U.S.

by Gary Kicinski via Digital First Media 2/9/2014 9:35:53 AM
After a 93.5 in her qualification run, Jamie Anderson slips on her final jump but still manages an 80.75 to climb into second place.

by Gary Kicinski via Digital First Media 2/9/2014 9:38:57 AM
Worst kind of welfare cheat - an employed one. @rajumudhar Bring us back some (homemade vodka). We'll put socialized medicine to the test.

by cathalkelly via twitter 2/9/2014 9:39:27 AM
Two more to go in the first run, and the medal positions are currently held by Pancochova, Anderson and Candrian.

by Gary Kicinski via Digital First Media 2/9/2014 9:40:46 AM
Having some connectivity problems, bear with me! @Sarka in 1st, @Jme_Anderson in 2nd & @sinacandrian in 3rd right now #slopestyle

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/9/2014 9:41:03 AM
FALSE ALARM - 1st place qualifier Anna Gasser acciently dropped in and had to hike back up! #slopestyle

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/9/2014 9:42:01 AM
OK, this time for real. Anna Gasser to take her #slopestyle run! Will we see that cab double cork 900 I heard about?? #Sochi2014

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/9/2014 9:42:48 AM
Top qualifier Anna Gasser on the course now....

by Gary Kicinski via Digital First Media 2/9/2014 9:44:22 AM
Dang! Anna Gasser through a monster rodeo on the first jump but then had a little sketch after landing the second jump #slopestyle

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/9/2014 9:44:25 AM
Back to the top of the #slopestyle order, X Games champ @SiljeNorendal about to go for her final run - she needs a perfect one!

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/9/2014 9:45:24 AM
Doesn't quite land her second jump and earns just a 49. That completes the first run.

by Gary Kicinski via Digital First Media 2/9/2014 9:45:38 AM
Many women riders dragging hands, scrubbing on #slopestyle landings, bodes well for perfectionist @Jme_Anderson , in 2nd after 1st of 2 runs

by Jason Blevins via twitter 2/9/2014 9:45:56 AM
Before @SiljeNorendal takes her 2nd run, know all these women are making history in the first #slopestyle event #EverybodyWins

A Bode Miller race cannot end simply. He says he did not make a mistake, others including his coach say otherwise.

by NYT Olympics via twitter 2/9/2014 9:47:06 AM
More Miller: "I would have loved to win. It's a premier event. But I don't think I would have changed much today."

Slopelstyle break. Read about my love for the Sochi Bear. It's a bittersweet, doomed love. thestar.com/sports/sochi20…

by cathalkelly via twitter 2/9/2014 9:47:14 AM
More from Bode Miller: "This will be a tough one to swallow. I have a lot of races left. The middle part of the course slowed down."

by NYT Olympics via twitter 2/9/2014 9:47:18 AM
Bode Miller: "The lower visibility hurt me more than most guys. I ski on the edge and had to change things from the training runs."
