Olympic Appearances

During her heat, she scored 39.00 on her first run and 44.50 on her second run. She finished tenth, which meant she didn't go straight to the final. She then competed in the semi-finals. There, she scored 33.75 on her first run and 37.50 on her second run. She finished ninth in the semi-finals. This meant she didn't qualify for the finals, placing 17th overall.
After her competition, Aimee joined the BBC Sport commentary team. She helped commentate on the final of her event. Her teammate, Jenny Jones, won a bronze medal. This was Great Britain's first-ever Olympic medal on snow! Some viewers felt the commentary was very supportive of the British competitor. This led to some complaints.
