Snowboard FIS World Cup 2023 - 2024

[Josh 13,511]

I always knew Japan was good, but holy crap they’re turning into a winter-powerhouse. Only sports that they aren’t in contention are biathlon, cross country, short track speed skating, ice hockey, alpine skiing, skeleton, biathlon, and luge.

More disaster for  Naeslund as she fails to advance to the big final at the Arosa WC

but she's a freeski specialist, not a snowboarder 

 

however, a true snowboarder,  Nadya Ochner, has announced her retirement.

the PGS in Carezza on Thursday will be her last competition.

4  men in the quarterfinals (and no head-to-head between them, so, potentially, it could be a clean sweep at the end of the day...even if it's highly unlikely)

 

 Nadya Ochner, retiring after today's race, is also among the last 8 in the women's race (unfortunately she fell in her QF heat, so she'll end in a place between 5th through 8th).

 

as usual, very unfair courses, with people on the red course winning all the races (unless they make a big mistake)

 

the only snowboarder losing a heat on the red course without making apparent mistakes was  Lucia Dalmasso, a pathetic loser that now is our best PGS specialist left  

[phelps 8,723]

wow!  Bormolini!

 

he edged out  Kosir despite being on the blue course (and with no big mistake by the Slovenian) 

[phelps 8,723]

OK, the red couse is jinxed now

 

second consecutive win on the blue, but  March actually made a bad mistake at some point
