can't wait to see who is the first user saying that China cheated in another judging sport for the gold

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.

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 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.
