TIGNES, France — Different continent. Only a slightly different result.
After stunning the freestyle world with a silver medal at Winter X Games at Buttermilk Mountain this year, Aspen teenager Torin Yater-Wallace finished third Wednesday in the men's ski superpipe final at X Games Europe.

Torin, 15, was the top American finisher at the event in Tignes, France, behind Canadian Justin Dorey and winner Kevin Rolland, who also won the X Games in Aspen.
