In Livigno, heavy snow caused challenges during the big air final, impacting the performance of competitors, including Martin Nordqvist, who was making his Olympic debut. The young skier failed to secure a high placement after missing the landings on his first two jumps, which ultimately left him in last place. Although his qualification performance had showcased a bright future for Swedish freeskiing, the final did not reflect his potential against more seasoned competitors who were absent from this event.

The weather conditions severely affected the event schedule, necessitating delays and adjustments to competition times. As snow and strong winds enveloped the venue, other events such as the snowboard slopestyle finals were postponed or altered, showcasing the impact of the winter conditions on the Olympic schedule. Thankfully, a slight delay allowed for a more suitable environment for the men's big air final, ultimately putting Nordqvist and other competitors in a challenging situation as they faced the 50-meter jump amid uncertain conditions.

The Swedish freeskiing team has long been recognized for its talent and ambition, and while this particular outing was not successful for Nordqvist, it highlights the unpredictability of winter sports at the Olympic level. With the absence of more experienced skiers, the younger generation, as represented by Nordqvist, has opportunities to learn and grow in upcoming competitions, suggesting that the future remains promising for Swedish freeskiing despite the unfortunate results of this event.
