French coach doubling up as a carpenter.

Nope, that doesn't look good enough from Ledeux with the one ski in the air landing.

Great big air event. Gu deserves it on the day.

Gu wins gold! Ledeux looks pissed!

If Gu were competing for the US she would be an overnight international superstar.

Well, McKayla Maroney won silver while landing on her ass. It doesn't get any worse than that

 

Ledeux's final landing was clearly not-gold medal worthy no matter where this event was held.

Wow Ledeux is upset

China lost a super close call in men's slopestyle that a lot of people think they got wrong (the BBC claims to have spoken to one of the judges who said they missed Parrot's leg grab and that had they spotted it he wouldn't have won). So I really don't think this applies to these park and pipe events.

 

To my eye Gu deserves the win.

Sure, but did the judges under-mark her first two jumps? I think so.
