Think she is one of your genetic anomalies, both parents were in the British system at some point. rather think she's one of those well overpaid Britons (Gymnastics and Diving have been inspirational, I guess). no way that 91 pts run was better than Sadowski Synnott's 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,562 Posted February 27, 2023 #42 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Which genius had the brilliant idea to put the rails at the bottom of the slopestyle course, and so not speeding up the run from top to bottom, but slowing the entire thing down to a near-standstill every single run? If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I think it was because the final part of the slope is too flat and they had problems to build "traditional" course with rails and urban pieces at the beginning and jumps at the end... even the Skicross (and Snowboardcross) track is very flat compared to what we usually see in the world cup / past world & Olympic events.

phelps 6,892 Posted March 1, 2023 #45 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Eva Samkova, now Adamczykova is back! after her terrible injury from last year, just a few minutes ago she won (another) world title in Snowboardcross and she did it in the only way she's capable of: dominating from start to finish, leaving no space and no hope to anybody else. tbh, very anti-climatic final, with no race for gold, but also no race for silver ( Josie Baff easy second). the only real fight was the one for bronze, miles behind the first 2: and the last medal goes to Lindsay Jacobellis, still able to edge Petit Lenoir out on the final straight. no comment on the Italians...one wasn't capable of staying in the track, one couldn't even stay on her feet, Brutto after maternity leave, is the bad copy of herself, not taking any initiative to overtake anybody...starts last, ends up last (unless someone ahead of her crashes for some reason)... our SBX team's regression is shameful, especially if we think of the home Olympics coming shortly...

phelps 6,892 Posted March 1, 2023 #48 Share Posted March 1, 2023 and VAR is in action for a suspect contact between Noerl (2nd at the finish line) and Haemmerle (4th at the end). the only safe thing is that Dusek is the new world champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grassmarket 2,760 Posted March 1, 2023 #50 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Noerl celebrated too early - if he'd leant forward and punched his hand over the line he'd have won! Edited March 1, 2023 by Grassmarket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
