Eli Bouchard takes GOLD in men’s big air with a 93 and 96! Way ahead of the rest of the field

Good luck to the people who have to select the mens snowboard slope style and big air team. Some world class snowboarders are going to be left off.

All I'm seeing is gold gold and more gold

Yeah it’s going to be a super tough decision. Parrot and Spalding may not even make it.

I think it will come down to who can perform at worlds this year.

Yeah, we can only select four of Laframboise-Brearley-Spalding-McMorris-Jobin-Bouchard-Porter MacLennan-Parrot. 
 

I’m not sure if Parrot has retired but he has mentioned before that he wants to make a run for this Olympics? @intoronto maybe you can email Snowboard Canada and ask?

Nice 4th place finish for Aurelie Moisan in the parallel giant slalom today

[Surlympics 870]

Yes she was close to getting the bronze but she didn’t finish. Ben heldman on the men’s side also had the fourth fastest qualifying time. Both he and Aurelie are world junior champions in 2022 and 2024 respectively. So it looks like we have some medal potential in this sport for Italy with Arnaud Gaudet also the reigning world championship bronze medalist.

Silver for Eliot Grondin in men’s snowboard cross at the Erzurum WC

 

I’ve had a shitty past few hours to my night (nothing personal related, thankfully), makes me feel a little bit better.
