After the qualifiers of the men’s aerials were postponed due to weather, Pittsford native and gold medalist Chris Lillis will finally take to the air on Thursday. Lillis, 27, is competing in his second Olympics. In Beijing, he won gold in the aerial freestyle skiing team event.
Live coverage of Thursday’s aerial qualifiers will begin at 5 a.m. Eastern Time on Peacock and USA Network. Then, the aerial finals for the top 12 athletes will get underway hours later, with live coverage beginning at 8 a.m. Eastern Time on Peacock.
Lilis is among the top-ranked aerial freestyle skiers in the world. On the World Cup circuit, he’s been on the podium at least 12 times, winning three, according to his Team USA bio.
Unlike Beijing, Lillis will get to compete in front of fans this year and interact with other athletes without worrying about the COVID-19 pandemic. News10NBC spoke with Lillis about how he got into aerial skiing and how he’s preparing to compete. We also spoke with Lillis’ parents about how their children got into aerial skiing and their support for Lillis.
How does the aerial freestyle event work?
The qualifying round consists of two jumps, according to NBC. At the end of the first jump, the top six skiers advance directly to the final. All remaining skiers take a second jump but are not allowed to repeat the same maneuver they did in the first jump.
At the end of the second jump, six more skiers advance to the final. Skiers can advance based on either their first- or second-jump score, whichever is higher. Scores don’t carry over to the final rounds.
Haley Winn and Team USA will play for gold on Thursday
Team USA and Webster native Haley Winn are going for gold on Thursday. The undefeated U.S. women’s hockey team is facing off against Canada in the finals, a team they shut out 5-0 in the group stages.
Team USA is coming off another dominant performance, beating Sweden 5-0 in the semifinals. Canada beat Switzerland 2-1 in the semifinals. For the finals, the puck drops at 1:10 p.m. Eastern Time at Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena.
Winn, a Bishop Kearney graduate, scored her first Olympic goal against Switzerland in the group stages and later scored an assist during the 5-0 victory against Canada. Her brothers have turned into a viral sensation by all dressing in matching Team USA-themed outfits and together cheering every game. News10NBC spoke with them about their support for their sister, how they got into hockey, and where they get their outfits.
Bishop Kearney’s connections to Team USA and beyond
Haley Winn isn’t the only Bishop Kearney graduate on the U.S. women’s hockey team. Caroline Harvey (defender) of New Hampshire, Laila Edwards (forward) of Ohio, Kirsten Simms (forward) of Michigan, and Ava McNaughton (goalie) of Pennsylvania all graduated from Bishop Kearney. In addition, goalie Michaela Hesová, who competes for Czechia, and Nina Christof and Jule Schiefer, who both compete for Germany, graduated from Bishop Kearney. You can read more about them here.
Bishop Kearney has been a longtime powerhouse in girls’ hockey, attracting talent from across the world. The BK Selects 16U and 19U teams held a watch party on Tuesday for the USA vs. Canada game. News10NBC spoke with some of the student-athletes at the watch party.
How did Ontario County’s Dylan Walczyk do?
Dylan Walczyk, a former Bristol Mountain athlete who also competed in Beijing, finished 13th in the finals of men’s moguls on Thursday and made it to the quarterfinals of the dual moguls on Sunday.
For moguls, a skier will get a score of up to 100 points, which is based 60% on turns, 20% on air, and 20% on speed. Walczyk earned a score of 77.62 on Thursday in the moguls finals, but fell short of making it to the second round, reserved for only the top eight finishers. Australia’s Cooper Woods took the gold medal for moguls, followed by Canada’s Mikael Kingsbury with silver, and Japan’s Ikuma Horishima with bronze.
In dual moguls, which made its Olympic debut this year, skiers compete side-by-side on the course and only one moves on. Walczyk beat South Korea’s Yoonseung Lee, then Australia’s George Murphy, but lost to Horishima, who went on win silver and add another medal to his collection. Kingsbury won gold after defeating Horishima in the finals, giving him his fifth Olympic medal. Australia’s Matt Graham won bronze.
