Angeli VanLaanen makes Olympic team in ski halfpipe

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Angeli VanLaanen locked up a spot on the U.S. Olympic team in the ski halfpipe at the U.S. Grand Prix on Saturday, marking a high point in her comeback after a three-year hiatus due to Lyme disease.

VanLaanen needed a podium finish to clinch the last guaranteed spot on the team bound for Sochi. She ended up with a winning score of 88.20.

Devin Logan, who had already qualified for slopestyle, placed third, but she'll have to wait and see if another spot is added for the halfpipe. Brita Sigourney, already on the team, finished second.

Lyman Currier also won with a score of 92.60, clinching the third and final guaranteed Sochi spot among the men. Aaron Blunck earned a spot on the team with a second-place finish.

Third-place finisher Gus Kenworthy will have to wait to see if he gets a discretionary selection.
