Beijing Winter Olympics: Australia's Matt Graham misses out on men's moguls final as Brodie Summers and Cooper Woods advance

Pyeongchang silver medallist Matt Graham has missed out on the finals of the men's moguls competition at the Winter Olympics in Beijing, after the Australian was unable to produce in the vital second qualifying run.

Australia will still have two men in the finals, as Brodie Summers qualified second and Cooper Woods fourth.

They will join 10 other competitors for Saturday night's 20-man final 2, before the field is narrowed to six for the medal round.

Graham had been left at risk of missing the final after he failed to finish his first run on Thursday at the Zhangjiakou course.

Graham's lead-up to the Games had been interrupted when he broke his collarbone last December and had to have surgery.

Graham's second run came near the end of qualifying, and he needed a score of 74.49 or better to advance. But after a couple of wobbles early in the course, he found it difficult to regather his momentum and his second jump lacked the momentum to produce a solid score.

The 27-year-old finished with 65.13 in 19th spot, leaving Graham visibly distraught.

«This is honestly the most pain and heartbroken I’ve ever felt. The broken collar bone obviously hurt but this hurts a hell of a lot more,» he said after qualifying.

«Everything was there, the whole package was there, I just didn’t execute. I got caught up in challenging conditions with wind and firm snow, sharp moguls, and I just kind of misjudged the top jump, went left out of the top there and I was kind of chasing my tail the whole way down the middle section.

»At that point, I knew the run was more or less over, but I was just trying to fight the whole way down just to at least put a run down after the other night, I was pretty embarrassed after I did not finish."
