THe award for the most shady organization: COC

Snowboard Canada is incompetent... I don't understand why they didn't use all their quota... Many Snowboard Canada athletes have appealed the decision of their federation

Runa Yoshika had to be transported by ambulance to the hospital after very bad crash in the slopestyle training today.

 

Jamie Anderson said the course is basically an entire ice and decided to not even start the training...

A sport disaster for  Jan Kubičík is snowboadcross who caused himself nearly the same injury as Eva Samková couple months ago. He broke his shin bone in the ankle level, he is outta Games and COC is trying to manage his replacement as fast as they can ..... Radek Houser, who placed 26th (10th quali) in last WC should come to China.

Apparently the Chinese officials have confiscated Radoslav Yankov's batteries for the machines he uses to prepare his boards.

She apparently has a spinal cord injury, but there is no risk of paralysis. She has withdrawn from both slopestyle and big air and will return to Japan once it is safe for her to do so.

Interestingly, looks like FIS invited the Hungarian halfpipe athlete to take part in the slopestyle (as a replacement for Yoshika). Must have been last minute.
