Dane Menzies has missed out on a medal in the Snowboard Slopestyle final at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Italy.
The New Zealander was 12th in the line-up and got off to a strong start.
Run one earned him a solid score of 76.10, but run two saw him drop to fifth place.
Menzies was unable to up his score with a clean run on his last attempt, leading to a seventh place finish.
He only needed another three points to crack the top three.
The women’s Snowboard Slopestyle final, where Zoi Sadowski-Synnott will bid for another medal, is due to kick off at Thursday 2.30am NZT.
