KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — Dara Howell continued Canada’s dominance at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park, soaring to Olympic gold in women’s slopestyle skiing on Tuesday.

Howell posted a score of 94.20 during her first run of the finals, trouncing the rest of the field on a warm and sometimes frightening day down the slushy slopestyle course.

Devin Logan of the U.S. took silver. Canadian Kim Lamarre earned bronze.

Canada has claimed seven medals in four days of snowboarding and freestyle skiing, including three events in which they took two of the three spots on the podium.

Howell’s triumph was tempered by a series of scary crashes, including one by teammate Yuki Tsubota that ended with Tsubota being carried off the mountain on a stretcher.

Tsubota was at the end of her second run in the finals when she smacked into the crest of the landing hill. She slid to the bottom and lay motionless for several minutes while being tended to by medical staff. A Canadian official said Tsubota was being checked for a fractured jaw.

It was one of the few setbacks Canada has suffered during a blissful start to the games.

Canada’s slopestyle snowboarder Mark McMorris earned bronze in men’s slopestyle snowboarding on Saturday and Canada went one-two in both men’s and women’s moguls.

Only Logan’s acrobatic run to an 85.40 in the slopestyle skiing finals broke the run of dominance. Her medal-winning sprint included a frontside 720-degree spin in which the 20-year-old — who is coming off a second torn ACL in her knee — gamely held on while landing.
