Sadly the Big Air was cancelled, Klaudia had a huge chance to even medal there, Slopestyle is not her strong event since it require more creativity (Even if she is already a WCh bronze medalist in Slopestyle), but we (and Klaudia herself) had quite a lot of hopes from the Big Air here, sadly the nature and weather had the last word

Who exactly is better on the men’s side? Hirano?

 

Kim is obviously the best on the women’s side and it isn’t close.

On the womens side i think all the best athletes competed, but where were Hirano, Hiraoka, Davis, Ferguson, Hablützel, Ravnjak on the mens side?

(also maybe White will come back for 2022)

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

How many of them attended X Games though? (1) Is this a case of Grand Slam vs Olympic gold in tennis? Plus several athletes usually take the post-Olympic season off (2) or X Games actually still rule in this sport?

 

1-definitely, yes...

2-once again, definitely, yes...

 

unfortunately, having success in the American circuit is the only way to make money enough to afford this kind of life (and also in North America, it's much more a question of marketing, shooting, modelling and things like that rather than competing in that circuit)...

 

sad, but that's how it works in this kind of disciplines...

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
