Zongyang Jia of China

Zongyang Jia of China was the first place winner of the Men's Aerials at the 2012 Visa Freestyle International at Deer Valley.

Dylan Ferguson, from Amesbury, MA placed second. In 30 FIS starts, this was Dylan's first time on the podium.  Congratulations, Dylan!!!

As anticipated, the Chinese women swept the Ladies division.  Mengtao Xu took first place.

The competition used the new Olympic format.  First, the field was qualified to 12, after which the field was reduced to eight.  The Super Finals consisted of four. In the new format, scores were reset with each round.  No jump was counted twice.

Ferguson round one jump was three flips with four twists. In round two, he did three flips and four twists.  In the Super Final round he did three flips with three twists. Makes you dizzy just thinking about it.
