snowboarding small final

What is a consolation race in snowboarding? “Small Final” Lindsey Jacobellis?

I read Lindsey Jacobellis won the consolation race after missing out on the gold. What is a consolation race in snowboarding?

she won 5th place.im not sure they award you for that but why would they keep records of said things if they didnt get awarded.im also confused on how people who lose get awarded

winning 5th place isnt anything really when they dont show it on tv.i feel sorry for the girl myself
