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 :SWE Naeslund as she fails to advance to the big final at the Arosa WC:yikes::yikes:

but she's a freeski specialist, not a snowboarder :p

 

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

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

4 :ITA 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)

 

:ITA 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 :ITA Lucia Dalmasso, a pathetic loser that now is our best PGS specialist left :facepalm: :hairpull:
