His two runs clocked in a 1:00.14 and 1:12.88, and he took 43rd place in the giant slalom with a combined time of 1:45.63.

The Skywalk Is Gone, a short film shown at the same screening, centers around the disappearance of a skywalk in a busy corner of Taipei and the hiatus in human relationships which it creates.
