A 'team' event that actually kind of adds something, interesting

I can't wait, I'm thrilled.... One of the worst events in all of winter sports.

On the other hand, I am curious about the Livigno stage, where there will be the Moguls Olympic slope. It looks like it will be worked well with snowcats and it seems they want to make it a stable slope, which would be a great thing for the Italian movement, since there is currently no decent infrastructure for moguls

Why?

I mean, a team event adds nothing, we just see the exact same thing but with the scores added, whereas synchronized actually is a different thing to watch. Like, synchronized diving...fine. But a team event in diving where the scores are simply added? Meh.

It was clearly an ironic statement :evil:

The full season starts this weekend - it's the :SUI Big Air weekend. Practise already underway!

Friday - Ski Big Air - qualifiers in the morning, finals at night.

Saturday - Snowboard Big Air - qualifiers in the morning, finals at night.

It's not all good though - Swiss DJs are threatening to play. :pope:

Little surprise at the opening of the Big Air World Cup, :SUI Andre Ragettli did not qualify for the final.

Apparently from this season we will don't know the scores of 2nd jump if there isn't an improvement. Not the best thing...

Will speed things up. There's no point in debating whether this fall was better than that fall.

As long as that's all. Not showing the 2nd jump scores only makes sense if jump 1 was a normal, non-fall jump, and jump 2 was a fall. Otherwise, they both obviously need to be scored (and it makes no sense to not show the scores then).

We were talking about it during the season opening halfpipe WC, I think you missed it

Hopefully the crazy maniac (or s) who thought of this idea get put in jail (… just kidding of course), and this nonsense format is only being tried out for this season and won’t return in 2025-26 :zip: :bones: :rolleyes: :smash:
