Liu Zhongqing bags bronze in men's aerials' final

China won the bronze in the men's aerials' final. Liu Zhongqing made it onto the podium in the fiercely fought competition. With the absence of Turin Olympic gold medallist Han Xiaopeng, Liu Zhongqing became the third Chinese on an aerials podium following the country's success with silver and bronze in the women's final a day earlier.

Liu Zhongqing ranked third in the first jump. In the second jump, he increased the difficulty and although not perfect when landing, he still managed to get 242.53 points overall which was good enough for bronze.
