I'm usually not super impressed by women's ski halfpipe (I think it's the weakest of the ten "newschool" freestyle ski / snowboard events in the Olympics) but she delivered. Amazing way for Marie Martinod to end her illustrious career, too. Respect to her. She ended it before in 2006 ... so maybe we will see her again? Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshMartini007 2,130 Posted February 20, 2018 #364 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'm not sure how that's any different than someone becoming a citizen of a different nation to have an easier time qualifying. The Olympics were never just about having the best, it's also about having a diverse field. I guess they can have a rule where all athletes must score above 50 points in a certain number of competitions or something to prevent people from getting free points.

heywoodu 13,499 Posted February 20, 2018 #365 Share Posted February 20, 2018 One can have doubts about Swaney being there I guess, but calling her a cheater is just nonsense.

So true, she literally did everything by the book to qualify. Olympic quota was rightfully hers, whatever the haters say.

If there were quota restraints like in the Summer Olympics these events would be closer to 16-24 entrants than 24-30. DaniSRB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
