Shaun’s world ranking currently stands at the 14th position. If he wants to strengthen his Olympic chances, he has to improve his position. Notably, he has one last chance to do the same at the Laax World Cup event, Switzerland. However, if Shaun still fails to make it to the top, his only chance will be to qualify as a ‘coach’s discretionary’ pick.
