Cox, Anthony progress in moguls finals

Top Australian medal hope Britt Cox and compatriot Jakara Anthony have progressed into the second stage of the Winter Olympics moguls finals.

World champion Cox, 23, laid down a solid run scored 75.79 to qualify fifth but was bested by 1.02 points and one place by the less experienced Anthony in PyeongChang on Sunday.

Australians Madii Himbury and Claudia Gueli have been eliminated, with the latter unable to get past repechage.

Himbury's 68.19 in the first final wasn't enough to fall inside the top-12 cut-off.

Cox avoided repechage after gaining direct passage to the finals with a top-10 placing in qualifying two days ago.

The top six from final two go into the medal decider.
