Freestyle Skiing at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022


Recommended Posts

Well it's now official: for the first time since 2002, :CAN will not win any gold medals in freestyle skiing. When that last happened there were only four freestyle events. In Sochi and Pyeongchang Canada won four gold medals, when there were only ten events. In Beijing there are thirteen events and Canada won none.

 

This is definitively a low, low point for the sport in Canada.

Well they managed to get this ill advised, unfair and dangerous competition through without anyone dying. Congrats.

 

Organizers fucked up, frankly at this point it would have been fairer to use qualifying scores to distribute the medals (even though I would have disliked that outcome in terms of who the medals would have gone to).

Freestyle skiing is now only the second sport where at least two countries from four different continents have won gold medals.

 

Say what you will about the "flippy flippy" sports, they provide a level of diversity unmatched among skiing sports.

Just now, ofan said:

Mike Tirico reporting that the wind conditions are as bad if not worse tomorrow, so it had to be held today. 

They could and should have held it yesterday. Or even cancelled the contest and awarded medals based on qualification results (as shitty as that is).

 

The conditions today were neither fair nor safe. Even though, somehow, the best athlete won (congrats to :NZL Nico Porteous btw, he fully deserves this).

As both Smith and Maier said would be correct.

    • has 2 wins already  Not bad for complete minnows!
    • Your most ever at a Summer Olympics was 14 golds, 20 would be a big increase even with the new sports  I’d say out of them, only costal rowing has a chance of gold, and flag football a medal if they can qualify.    Wouldn’t breaking the 14 from 1984 be a good for Italy? I’d say so. They can’t all convert after all, and you’ve been hovering in the 8-13 range for a while (although Italy has gotten better the past two)   For Canada at least, 11+ golds would be amazing, anything else would be a bonus. We won 9 in Tokyo which is our highest total ever. 
    • Personally, I'm really looking forward to Japan's performance in the World Cup. From the current situation, Japan has a very distinctive playing style. They have strong tactical ideas whether facing European teams or South American teams. However, Japan has never won a knockout match in the World Cup. As someone who has been following Asian football for a long time, I really admire Japanese football.
    • Italy didn't qualify again.    Well, now all that's left is for Germany to be eliminated again in the group stage and we'll guarantee another 4 years of "Brazil, the only five-time champion in history, nobody is bigger than Brazil, respect our history and blah blah" that we use on the internet.
    • Failing to qualify for the World Cup once can be put down to bad luck or other reasons, but missing out three times in a row must be due to an all-round gap. I feel sorry for Italy.
    • Italians can only blame themselves. Serie A has been run by foreigners more than any other Top 5 domestic league. There are zero global stars not named Donnarumma. This is the weakest Italian crop of players I can remember and it's not even close.   As for Poland, our defense did a terrible job. Unlike the much-maligned Michniewicz & Probierz who often parked the bus, Urban completely run out of BS luck since errors proved too numerous & too costly.
    • Okay, but defeats to Macedonia and Bosnia are unacceptable. Above all, let Italians start playing in Italian clubs... Look at Milan or Como...  Another think is the old and ugly stadiums - Türkiye or Poland currently have much better infrastructure than we do.
    • Problem is, that the current funding system of Italian sports - since 2018- relies on football paying the lion's share through taxes (around 70% of the sum that is redistributed). So the rest is strong until it can draw money from football, which in turn makes football weaker and less able to generate money and then who knows. 
    • I prefer our current strong sport at all and weak football than a lucky promotion and defeat at the World Cup, as in 2010 or 2014. Sinner, Brignone, or Antonelli are worth 100 times more than losers like Bastoni.
    • if tonight's humiliation means 20+ gold and 50+ total medals in 2 years time in LA, I'll take it 1 billion times    and I'd never change the emotions of the 2 Olympic weeks in Milan (and the other sites) with just another average soccer world cup
