Seamus O'Connor of Ireland after completing round 2 of the Halfpipe Qualifications on day four of the Winter Olympics

A brilliant first run saw Irish snowboarder Seamus O'Connor within touching distance of qualifying for the half-pipe final at this morning's Winter Olympics qualifying session in PyeongChang.

At the half-way point he was lying 13th, just 1.25 points off the top 12 to go through to the final.
