SAUZE D'OULX, Italy, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Han Xiaopeng won China's first Olympic gold medal on snow when he triumphed in the men's freestyle skiing aerials on Thursday.

The Chinese, who has never won a World Cup event but had topped qualification, corkscrewed through the night air and nailed both his landings to register 250.77 points and edge Belarusian Dmitri Dashinski (248.68).

Russian Vladimir Lebedev took a surprise bronze with 246.76 points from the two rounds of jumping before a packed crowd.

It was China's second gold of this Olympics after Wang Meng's short track speedskating win and their ninth medal overall.

Their two previous golds in the Winter Olympics were both in short track speedskating and their team members celebrated by hurling their Canadian coach Dustin Wilson into the air in the finish area.

"I never thought this would happen," said 22-year-old Han, whose jumps were less difficult than some of his rivals' but much better executed.

"I'm overjoyed with such a win. I feel like I'm in a dream. I'm so happy to win the first gold medal for the Chinese team in history on the snow."

Dashinski, the 1998 Olympic bronze medallist, had looked on course to win Belarus's first Winter Olympics gold medal when he executed a superb effort to lead after the first round.

However, a backslapped landing on his second effort, even though it had a greater degree of difficulty than Han's, cost him victory.

NO REGRETS

On a bad night for Canada and the United States, World Cup leader Kyle Nissen could manage only fifth place. The Canadian paid for a poor first jump that left him seventh.

Another Canadian, Warren Shouldice, who is second in the World Cup rankings, was sixth. "I'm devastated but I'm going to have to stick around for four more years," he said.

American Jeret Peterson slipped from third after the first jump to seventh after attempting the most difficult jump of the night in the second round.

Peterson's effort had a 4.9 out of five degree of difficulty but he put his hand down on the landing.

He had no regrets.

"It was the toughest jump that's ever been done in competition and I'm very glad to say I threw it in the Olympics," said the 2004-05 World Cup champion. "That's what it's all about."

The 2002 Olympic champion Ales Valenta of the Czech Republic and last year's world champion, Canadian Steve Omischl, both failed to qualify for Thursday's final.
