Not her best run either. Hope she hammers home the win with epic run.

Her Dad’s name is Jong. Just saying.

Runaway strap so their board doesn't get away when they biff.

Non of competition ever uses them?
I’m sticking with my theory.

I don't know him but Jake Burton has a creeper look on his face when Chloe came by.

This is brutal. So tedious. We know who’s gonna win. Please forward to Alpine skiing.

Yup, half pipe ain't much better than watching moss grow.

Judged events aren’t really sports, amirite?
Race the clock or score some goals.

QFT. Fucking hate this shit. Zzzzzz.

Is it a requirement that every female snowboarder crash?

Agree. Judged events are great if you are “supposed” to win.

You're right. There was a brief mention about using them for measuring elevation and rotations for judging.

All 3 gold by snowboarders. :)

Gotta be the goggles.

Yeah, cause throwing darts and bowling are actual "real sports".

Bowling is more interesting than half pipe. Plus they have those cool shoes with the sizes on em and whatnot.

A true champion on that last run.

Was that a tooth in the lip?

Yeah, and?
Not a fan of dudes hucking their meat for judges.
Race the fucking clock, on steep ice. That’s sport.

Yeah, I'm with you on him. I thought he was every bit as fast and his turns were very sound. I have to say I know Kingsbury is a machine but there was damn near a 10 point difference from him to just off the podium today. Guys were going for it and I think small errors got amplified.


This DH course is eating it's young.

DH combined: anyone notice Cochran-Siegle’s pole straightlining down the course after his fall? Pure ice from fence to fence the way that thing was hauling downhill.
