Kirsty Muir has definitely experienced pressure; she did an Olympics when she was 17 and that experienced would have helped.
In her very first run, I didn't know if she was nervous or focused - but I think she looked focused. She put two runs down, and I don't think she would have felt a huge amount of pressure going in to the third because anything was just a bonus for her, I think that would have been her mindset.
I know that she has been learning a lot of breathing techniques with free divers which she says has really helped with her nerves. I'm sure she would have been drawing on those.
There was also the aspect of [the event] being put on hold; her training went really well and suddenly a huge snow storm came in and she had to wait it out.
I do think she did her best tricks. A tail grab on her last trick might have done it, but I don't think she should be feeling disappointed.

Freestyle skier Kirsty Muir once again came heartbreakingly close to a Winter Olympic medal for Team GB with her second fourth-place finish of the Games.
Competing in the big air, Muir scored a combined 174.75 points from her best two runs, 3.5 points shy of Italian bronze medallist Flora Tabanelli.
It comes exactly a week after the 21-year-old missed out on slopestyle bronze by just 0.41 points.
"I enjoyed it quite a lot." Muir told BBC Sport. "When the scores came in for the other girls I knew I had to give it something really, really good to get on that podium so I’m stoked that I did try that.
"I love skiing with the girls. They are my besties and I’m just stoked. I’m stoked for Meg [Megan Oldham], she skied unbelievably.
"I can’t really process how many have been [inspired] but I’m just so grateful for the support back home. I hope everyone has seen how cool our sport is. Just so much love and thank you to everyone back home."
