Tess Coady in action in the Slopestyle Australia's Tess Coady and Matt Cox will turn their attention to the Big Air at the 2017 FIS Freestyle Ski and Snowboard World Championships after both riders bowed out of the Slopestyle on qualification day.
An early fall in her first run didn’t rattle 16-year-old Coady and she put down a strong second attempt which scored 63.50 to finish in 11th position.
Only the top eight women progress to Saturday’s final.
One of the youngest in the 33 strong field, Coady recently finished sixth in her first ever World Cup event and the teenager will be looking to gain more international experience when she takes to next week’s Big Air event.
Matt Cox's Slopestyle aspirations ended before the event began after the 18-year-old had a fall during training. He was ruled out as a precaution but is optimistic of taking part in the Big Air event.
The athletes return to action next Thursday for Big Air qualifications.
