Gold for :GBR teen sensation Mia Brookes in the slopestyle. 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 :finger: :hairpull: :sick:

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? :lol: 

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...:mumble:

 

even the Skicross (and Snowboardcross) track is very flat compared to what we usually see in the world cup / past world & Olympic events.

You kidding? She was the first woman in the history of snowboarding to land a quadruple spin!  :spank:

:CZE 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 (:AUS Josie Baff easy second).

 

the only real fight was the one for bronze, miles behind the first 2: and the last medal goes to :USA Lindsay Jacobellis, still able to edge :FRA 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...:facepalm:

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
