In 2014, skier Maddie Bowman was one of the golden girls of the Sochi Winter Olympics. Literally: she nabbed a gold medal for her runs in the women's freestyle ski halfpipe.

But at Sunday's event at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang, South Korea, Bowman ended up falling on all three of her runs down the halfpipe, failing to defend her prior dominance and Sochi gold.

Instead, Canada's Cassie Sharpe took the top spot, followed by France's Marie Martinod with a silver medal.
