Janne Lahtela (FIN) had been a surprise silver medalist in 1998 at Nagano. But since then, he was the dominant moguls skier, having won the 1999 World Championship, and leading the overall World Cup in 1999-2000. He qualified second in Salt Lake City, trailing the unheralded American Travis Mayer. Mayer had been on the US “C” team only a few months earlier, but had improved quickly. In the final, Lahtela won with the fastest run and the highest score air points, with Mayer taking the silver medal. The 1998 gold medalist, Jonny Moseley of the USA, placed fourth. His run was marked by great difficulty, with several borderline illegal moves, including the Dinner Roll 720, which was very popular with the crowds, but the difficult jumps slowed him down and cost him time points, dropping him to fourth.
