Aerial freestyle bronze medallist Lydia Lassila has said that she has left her "mark forever" after her performance at the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.
The Australian had gone into her last jump trying to become the first woman to land the quad-twisting triple somersault.
If she had landed it, she would have won gold.
She told reporters: "I'm really happy. I'm sorry I'm crying, but it's joy. It's happiness. It was my maximum effort.
"To be able to do that trick in the super final was something. I've left my mark forever, and made history with that trick.
"It would've been great to land it, but I was stretching for my life. It's been an amazing journey until now."
Belarus veteran Alla Tsuper won gold, while China's world champion Xu Mengtao took silver.
