[that dude who did that thing]

I suspect that even lightweight boxing gloves are not very dextrous.

[The SnowShow]

Shaun White goes huuuuge.

[Hott Butt Mud]

Pushed back again.....7:45 mst now. This is ridiculous, not sure how they are going to get any of these events in.

Are you referring to the slalom?

And, yeah, I've heard so many stories about Shaun White being an absolute huge douche. But, looks like he will probably win the Gold this time. It would be killer to see Jake Pates get on the podium as well!

[alias_rice]

I’ve never talked to anyone that knows White who actually likes him

Maybe so, but he’s head and shoulders better than everyone else.

[Flyoverland Captive]

He can fly, no question.

[Vt-Freeheel]

Skiing is what I want to watch, not fucking halfpipe.

[Supermoon]

Maybe so, but he’s head and shoulders better than everyone else.

No doubt. But I don’t have to like him.

[Sirshredalot]

Shaun White goes huuuuge.

I've never heard anyone say they like him personally, but I've never heard anyone say that about Michael Jordan either. Dude is the GOAT in the half pipe. It's fun to watch him ride.

A question--for World Cup racers is an Olympic medal as big a deal as it is in other sports? Is it as big a deal or bigger than a season championship? Or is it just another stop on the WC tour? I suppose depending on the country it means a lot of money. "Millions" quoth Bill Johnson, in the best answer to a dumb interview question since George Mallory "Because it's there."

How many world cup championships did Franz Klammer win? He's remembered for one thing.

Trying to find the replay of the Japanese dudes impact in the pipe... I guess there’s a reason it wasn’t shown.

[Flyoverland Captive]

Is there a reason why the boarder’s faces are all obscured, like a gang of bandits?

[BobMc]

It was pretty ugly, looked like it either broke his femur or blew out his hip. He hit hard.

[The SnowShow]

Get these fucking knuckledraggers off my Tv. I want slalom!

[4matic]

Hirano came to play. Pipe a little bumpier today.

[Hott Butt Mud]

So, is the ladies slalom not happening tonight?

AND DOWN goes Shaun White........ oh shit

[t-the-east]

Maybe so, but he’s head and shoulders better than everyone else.

Except for that dude ahead of him...

[alias_rice]

AND DOWN goes Shaun White........ oh shit

Postponed until Friday

[BmillsSkier]

Nope, no women's Slalom tonight.

Little Japanese dude just layed down a seriously perfect run.

[montanaskier]

The alpine schedule is really getting compressed now.....forecast is for continued windy conditions, but not as bad hopefully

[Sirshredalot]

I think it's pretty fucking cold there and they spend most of the comp standing around waiting to drop in.

[wyeaster]

jesus totsuka will be lucky not to have broken bones and blown knees

It’s on YouTube.

[Flyoverland Captive]

Maybe... but the spectators seem fine with bare faces. As do the athletes in every other sport.

[zartagen]

It's likely more fashion reasons. They always have covered faces during summer glacier park skiing/snowboarding, too.

[MTT]

I am guessing the Japanese kid broke his hip or pelvic or worse.

Vibes to him, that was a horrendous hit/ wonder what it sounded like up close
