That's wraps up our coverage of the men's snowboard halfpipe final. Plenty more Kiwis in action over the coming days, so stay tuned and fingers crossed New Zealand can bring home some more medals.

"The pipe's only like 197 metres, so it's towards the long end of most pipes, but like still like the way that snowboarding's progressing nowadays, the pipes need to get longe," he told Sky Sport.

"Everything needs to be perfect to have that fifth hit, and for me personally, like I can't go as big as I want to go because I won't have that fifth hit. So like if the pipe was like 20 metres longer, I'd be able to go like 5 10 foot bigger and that'd be so sick."

"The pipe was so good today everyone was on some crazy stuff," he said.

"Heaps of new tricks landed. Like I couldn't put it in my yards, I had the best training ever, landed my full run in training with like the cab triple double alley oop rodeo back 12 front triple switch double alley oop rodeo, landed it perfect in training. 

"Just couldn't put it down. A bit gutting really, but it's alright."

Australian Scotty James can't complete a clean final run meaning Yuto Totsuka will win the gold medal.

Japanese rider Ryusei Yamada is guaranteed a bronze medal. 

Scotty James is the last rider and could jump into first, but let's see what happens.

Yuto Totsuka, Scott James and Ryuesi Yamada are guaranteed to medal, but in what order is still to be determined.

Australian Guseli Valentino lands his final score to jump from last to fifth, meaning Cam Melville Ives will finish 12th.

Not meant to be for the Kiwi who falls attempting to land a frontside triplecork 1440.

One of the commentators described it as "absolute heartbreak" for the 19-year-old.

"He let us know this was an incredible night and he didn't get that run exactly as he wanted, of course, or as we all wanted to see it, but what an amazing snowboarder," the commentator said.

His best score was 43 first up, leaving him in 11th place.

A massive moment in the young career of Cam Melville Ives, as he needs to leave nothing on the table to get in the medal hunt.

He has dropped down to 11th

The Aussie manages to break the Japan stranglehold on the podium spots to move into second. 

Each rider has one rune left, and it is hard to see Yuto dropping out the top three after his score of 95.

Cam Melville Ives will have to produce some magic to secure a medal at his debut Olympics.
