The jumps matter. It’s only 20% of the score but a dificult and well executed air package can win you the event.

 

Andi Naude can’t out turn Lafonte, she has to roughly match her in turns *and* out score her in the air. She’s capable of it if everything goes well.

 

Also most people aren’t Kingsbury, the ability to tune the level of dificulty and speed of your run to the score you need to win isn’t something most athletes have (at least not in the way it looks almost automatic for Mike).

But the moguls aren't won on the jumps! They're won on the turns. Laffont gave away 1,2 pts to Dufour-Lapointe on the jumps but made it up on the turns. The difference between the two was the time (0.2 pts). Laffont had the most turns points in the final six and fourth-highest among all three rounds.

 

Btw, Galysheva had the most air points due to her signature front flip. If the moguls would be won on the jumps, she'd be a runaway gold medallist (and we'd see more women doing the front flip in general).

i meant risking and going for gold and not "defending the bronze" mentality, i like it

I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it

Wow, Gagnon almost doesn't even need to take another qualification run with the rate this competition is going :d . His first round score should be enough to make the final
