Bronze for Cassie Sharpe in women’s superpipe at the X Games!

Also a top 5 for Karker with an 81.00, in her return from injury not a bad outcome. 
 

Hopefully she’ll have enough time in the next few weeks to add more difficulty to her runs and contend for the podium although at this stage it’s unlikely

Honestly, the lack of real competition in this event leaves the door open. It'll be about showing up and putting down a solid run in Italy.

What do you mean? 

 

Gu and Atkin will be in the 90s probably, then you have some of Brown, Irving, Sharpe, Keixin, Fanghui, and maybe Fraser (low 80s all season long, which won't be enough, but she's come close to podiuming and her 85 at the X Games yesterday shows ger trajectory is trending in the right direction. Last season was really good for her too) and Karker, at least one of them will be in the high 80s.

According to her IG post she’s been dealing with an injury which makes her podiuming even more impressive! Not to mention this is her worse event of the two

Bronze for Megan Oldham in big air at the X Games! 90.66!

Bronze for Marielle Thompson at the Val di Fassa WC in ski cross! Otherwise a day to forget about

Bronze and 4th for Reece Howden and Kevin Drury at the Val Di Fassa WC!

 

No women in the semifinals, our men’s team being better than our women’s team would be unbelievable a few years ago especially with the larger field but a lot injuries and disappointing seasons for them…

Just looking at the scores from the second day of the Val Di Fassa ski cross WC, and Gavin Rowell finished dead last  (and 38th the day before, Mahler had a 20th and a 27th which is mediocre but had 3 straight top 15 finishes before that) 

 

Surely Mahler would perform better at the Olympics?
