How big is the chance to see the level in the women's halfpipe improve compared to this qualifying? I was a little shocked, for example, to see 86 points for Sharpe's rather.....underwhelming first run  

 

Even Gu's run only looked good for a bit and then looked like there was no energy left at all for the second half.

I am genuinely curious how will the Chinese girls cope on the ski cross tomorrow. Will they even be capable of going over some of the kickers?

 

The course is somewhat easier than the one in Pyeongchang though.

"Wait, those were kickers?"

 

First girl just absorbed them all except for the last one  

 

Kind of like me when I did BMX (cross) and was never able to actually jump

Very, very scary fall for Ben Harrington, who hit his head on the lip, but he is walking away. He got his money's worth from his helmet.

Horrible crash by Ben Harrington, thankfully he seems okay.

How lucky is Gus Kenworthy, placing 12th and watching every single other competitor that could surpass him fail

The draw for run order was pretty front loaded.
