Valenta completed five twists in three flips to take the gold, while defending Olympic champion [[Eric Bergoust]], in first place after the first jump, fell on the second after jumping too hard and ended up in last place.

Before a crowd of 14,237, Lahtela performed a near-flawless run with a quad twist and triple twist spread to win the gold. 

[[Jonny Moseley]], the defending Olympic champion and crowd favorite performed his unusual [[Dinner Roll jump]] in both the preliminary and final rounds but was slower than the medalists, and finished fourth.
