I am shellshocked!!! Poland wins two medals in snowboard WCh? This is like Korea winning medals in ski jumping

Surprising results, another proof that parallel slalom (and cross) are unnecessary events. Parallel slalom without Russia is on a much lower level. The fact that even most of the countries that have great training conditions (Canada, USA, Norway, Sweden, France) don't care about parallel slalom, tells you all you need to know.

Snowboard in Poland was the Ligocki family show for 15 years plus Jagna Marczułajtis. I don't know if we have like 10 athletes who train this sport seriously

well, the Polish guys have done well all season long.

 

the really surprising result is Tsubaki's gold.

 

anything else is just among the range of the predictable achievements.

 

unnecessary events? why? are there many other events in Winter Sports showing depth at the top level?

 

if alpine and cross events in snowboard and freestyle have to go, then what about the actual freestyle disciplines (5 Nations at the start for the Aerials this morning) or Nordic Combined/Ski Jumping (4/5 Nations competing for the top 20 places in each event when we're lucky, not more than 10/12 in total at the start) or Luge or (for what concerns the top tier nations) the same Cross-Country Skiing?
