“It seems to be a little déjà vu of last year,” said McCann, who claimed the 2011 gold on the final run. “I don’t know how it works like that.”

He pulled off the flashiest run of the day to successfully defend last year’s gold.

“I was sitting in third, and I was like, ‘What are we here for? Are we here for a good time?’ And I made things happened and it seemed to work out,” he said.
