Freestyle Skiing at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022

Yes, yes, yes!!!! Amazing story! I crossed my fingers for this man from qualification! I am so proud, and he deserve for medal, but gold? Wow, Sweden must be proud of this boy! I will remember this final for so long! We have a  new king in this event :D

Actually if we're going to talk about the judging, my question is how the heck did Ikuma Horishima finish third?

Kingsbury was too slow, but I thought his technique was better...

Polish commentators said he got bonus points for getting out of trouble. Turns seem the one aspect where you can get away with poor quality but I'm not the expert here.

When I saw his result I knew there was going to be some fuckery in the final positions.  That was a complete joke.  Ice dance judging on the moguls hill tonight.

Lets calm down a bit, Wallberg has a grand total of zero world cup wins, he has a long ways to go :P

 

That being said, in moguls it's pretty common for an Olympic gold to be the start of a quad of dominance rather than the culmination of such.

Wallberg just saved this day for Sweden!! Congrats Golden Boy.

Yes the beginning of the road, but let's see that always the Olympic champion can have bigger points than the judges, because he is the champion.

Congrats @Belle !!! His final run was brilliant.

I really hope Kingsbury isn’t haunted by losing gold because he decided to play it too safe. This is basically exactly how he lost to Horishima in the last pre-Olympic world cup.
