In the first round, he earned 67.20 points and was ranked 13th. The second jump, a triple forward with 2.5 rotations, was not his best. His accumulated score was 131.70 points, resultig in 17th position.
The reigning world champion Gary Hunt leads the ranking after two jumps with 205.40 points.
The athletes arrive on the water at nearly 90 kilometres per hour, head first. On Sunday, the third jump will take place, with the top twelve contesting the fourth round in the battle for the medals.
