Because of the injury Leme will be unable to compete in the Semi-Finals short round at The American. Leme went 86.25 last night in the second performance of the Semi-Finals but was in visible pain after the ride ended.
Because of Leme pulling out, JB Mauney will be taking his spot in the short round on Friday. Mauney just missed qualifying for the short round with an 83.50 point ride.
