Given the anger and controversy Parrot's win over Su in slopestyle caused I really don't see that happening.

I'm kind of annoyed at this controversy.  McMorris laid down the best run of the day, and in the end the medals for countries worked out.  Su missed half the rail section and wasn't clean on his first two jumps.  He landed a massive last jump, but that's like 1/6 of the total score even though it's often the biggest.  Him getting gold would have been a joke given the rest of his run.

I can't believe the snowboard programme is done already.  It feels like it was a bit rushed, especially having both big air finals on the same day.  Good (not great) Games for Canada in snowboard, and lots of exciting competitions from everyone.  Very enjoyable to watch.

Some medal related stats, now that snowboarding becomes the 4th sport to conclude (after luge, skeleton and ski jumping):

  • :AUT and :USA share top spot in the Beijing 2022 medal standing for Snowboarding. This is the first time these is such a tie for the sport, the first tine :AUT leads the medal tally for snowboarding and the 6th time in a row :USA leads the medal tally in snowboarding.
  • :USA extends it's lead atop the all time medal table to nine gold medals more than second place :SUI in terms of golds and 18 medals over second place :CAN in terms of total medals.
  • :SUI, the second best nation all time in snowboarding, wins only one bronze medal.
  • :CAN and :AUT both move ahead of :FRA, who was previously third, in the all time medal table.
  • :CHN, :JPN and :NZL all win their first ever gold medal in the sport.
  • Four continents have now won gold medals in snowboarding. Freestyle skiing and short track are the only other winter sport with that distinction.
  • Snowboarding is also now the only winter sport where more four different continents have two or more countries that have won at least one gold medal.
  • :NOR now has four silver medals, the most silver medals a country has ever won in snowboarding without winning gold.
  • :NOR and :SLO now have five medals, tied all time for most medals won in snowboarding without winning gold with :JPN's previous record.
  • Only one new "NOC" won a medal: :ROC. 25 NOCs have now won medals in snowboarding.

:CAN sucks so much at these Olympics that the two best jumps from the nine jumps from out three finalists in this event still wouldn't beat :CHN Su xD

To be brutally honest. Apart from halfpipe I find mens Snowboarding in general very boring. I guess the progression is to just do the most spins. No real flair or realness.

This is all very interesting because many say snowboarding and freestyle are North American sports, but they're actually the most diverse in terms of medal winners.  Much more diverse than the various nordic events.

    • Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Let's do this for a country that is not actually that good in winter sports as well as our Olympic Committee Declining lots of places.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
