[Gianlu33 5,276]

Hochreiter is eliminated too

Ledecka won the quali with only 2.5 seconds of margin

Ester with not one but literally all fingers in the nose and completely dry shirt

 

Double-Double incoming

[Monzanator 4,768]

Ledecka 2,5 secs faster than Hofmeister in quals. Unless RTM was holding something back, this looks like a no contest tbh.

 

Aleksandra Krol in 8th place so very respectable.

[Federer91 3,020]

Yankov passes Q, now i hope he gets a good position, so to eliminate at least one person later.

[Monzanator 4,768]

Oskar Kwiatkowski & Michal Nowaczyk also made Top 16. That at least make us look serviceable in this sport.

Man Mastnak is always good in qualification runs, but then his head does him in.

I am always surprised by Ester's mindset ..... I really admire her how she can handle her head .... As she always says: "Olympics is a dirty word and nobody in my team can say it out loud".  ..... In the quali run I could see that the only person who can defeat her is "herself" .... I think she remembers clearly her fall from the the WC this season in the final and I am sure she does not want to repeat this!!

 

All fingers crossed, she could become the first snowboarder in the history to defend the title in the parallel discipline .... Hope she does it !!
