Kauf, who was already objectively qualified for the Winter Games in Pyeongchang, is now assured a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team after competing on Wednesday and Thursday. Alta, Wyoming, native and Park City resident dominates moguls BEN RAMSEY The Park Record When Jaelin Kauf finished her qualifying run at the FIS Visa Freestyle International Ski World Cup at Deer Valley Resort on Wednesday, she was in 16th place — the lowest possible position to enter the finals. It was not entirely uncharted territory for the Alta, Wyoming, native and Park City-based athlete. She said she has performed well after placing 13th and 14th in other World Cup events, but finishing at the bottom of the qualifying bracket meant she had to step up her game. The large crowd below, replete with fans waving sticks mounted with her initials — J and C (for Charlotte, her middle name) — added pressure. Being one good performance away from a secure spot on the U.S. Olympic Team also added pressure. She had met the objective criteria for qualification the week before. However a podium at Deer Valley would cement her spot going into the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. She would be locked in. Despite that pressure, she said, there is also something freeing about sitting in last going into the finals. “You have nothing to lose,” she said. “You can’t go down any further. You gotta push it and hope for the best.” In her finals run, she finished in 28.89 seconds, earning her 78.19 points and fifth place going into the super finals. She was a single spot off the bottom – further up the pack, but not out of the woods. She upped her game again in the super finals (the final heat, with six competitors), racing to the bottom THE COLONY AT WHITE PINE C ANYON TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Jaelin Kauf holds her arms in the air as she stands atop the first-place podium following the FIS Visa International Freestyle Ski World Cup moguls event Thursday evening at Deer Valley Resort.
