Day 1 action for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, got off to a great start with the semifinals for men's snowboard slopestyle.
Only four spots for the final were up for grabs, as eight riders had previously booked their places during Thursday's qualification. That meant there was a ton of pressure heaped upon the 21 participants. With the tiniest slip-up, their Olympic dreams could go up in flames.
This is the first year in which snowboard slopestyle is an Olympic event, so those who don't regularly watch the Winter X Games were treated to new stars in what is an exciting event.
Here are the results from the semifinals of Saturday's snowboard slopestyle at the 2014 Winter Olympics.
