Freestyle Skiing FIS World Championships 2019

[Monzanator 5,111]

I'm pretty sure performing big air on skis is easier than snowboard due to weight factor alone? Not that it's actually any safer though?

Eileen GU  did not start in the BA competition because she is in China.

Well, now what is she doing there . It’s takes tremendous amount of skill to double cork from Beijing, across the Pacific Ocean, past my house, and land at Park City

This ski big air contest is really amazing. Women casually throwing double corks and 1080s and eight of the ten men stomping big tricks on their first jump, with the two in last place going down on a triple 1620 and 1800...

 

This is way better than any Snowboard big air event that has ever been at the FIS worlds, that’s for sure.

This was what I was thinking when I watched earlier. I love seeing the progression. Also, shoutout the Fabian Boesch with that awesome, original triple cork.

She was met by President Xi Jinping and stated that she would achieve good results at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Well, she’s obviously off to a poor start at the World Championships. Good to see China developing its freeskiing program though, hopeful she makes it over to compete in the slopestyle event

Maybe next time she represents China.

 

You know, China’s national media reports that President Xi Jinping’s visit is the Chinese national team.

That's a bit of a shame, missing out on world championships to say hi to some political dude
