Recommended Posts

BBC commentators think James should have got 97-99. 
 

And pointing out that the crowd think it was too low as well.

93.50 for :AUS James, breaking up the Japanese dominance :bowdown:

In almost any other contest in the history of the sport that would have been a winning run. The level tonight is out of this world.

X Games Who? :d

I find it kinda funny that the Olympics just straight up stole most of the best X Games events and in most cases made them better. Certainly made the Olympics feel a lot more modern as well.

 

(I say in most cases because big air is the only one where I think the FIS format still leaves something to desire - that event is definitively in need of a format refresh within the next couple Olympic cycles before it becomes stale on the men’s side)

Limited sympathy here given how the 2022 finals went :P

 

The judges made Ayumu earn it against Scotty in 2022 (they underscored him on both run 2 and run 3, despite him winning gold), Scotty can go earn it now.

What big air needs is to bring more style in the event. Spinning to win just isn't fun to watch really. I'd love to see huge 1080s with loads of amplitude and more grabs like the bloody Dracula etc. Landing a 2340 or whatever is difficult yes but not great viewing when you see the spinning all the time.

Exactly this. The format needs to force you to include limited spin tricks along with the big stuff.

    • Frölunda Overcome Luleå in OT to Claim Fifth CHL Title   Game Recap   For only the second time in Champions Hockey League history, the Final went to overtime, wher e Frölunda Gothemburg were crowned 2025/26 European Club Champions as they took down Luleå Hockey 3-2 to lift the the European Trophy once again.    Jere Innala played hero for the hosts who secured their fifth CHL title in front of a sellout crowd in the Scandinavium.   Neither club conceded much ice to the opposition in a scoreless first period that showcased a solid demonstration in defence from both sides.   Though Frölunda ended the stanza with shots in their favour 8 to 3, it was an opportunity for Luleå, who almost broke the deadlock near the midway mark when a deflection in front nearly got past Tobias Normann, who made good on the save.    Then, early in the second, it was the visitors with another excellent attempt when a cross-ice feed almost found the back of the net on a tip-in chance that ricocheted off the far post as Normann slid across to manoeuver it back into play.    Later on, Luleå became the recipients of the first powerplay of the night, but it was the hosts taking advantage when the hero for Frölunda from the 2017 CHL Final put his team in front on a brilliant individual effort.   Nicklas Lasu, who went pointless in the Playoffs, intercepted a pass near the blueline before dashing towards the offensive zone, where he skated in all alone and wristed the puck past the blocker of Matteus Ward to open the scoring.   Puck dropped in the third and immediately Luleå set about dictating the pace of play and it paid off when Eeto Koivistoinen tipped in a shot from the point to even things at 1-1.   The side's leading scorer, Mathias Bromè, whipped the puck towards the net as Koivistoinen, who was parked just above the crease, got his stick on it to deflect it into the cage.   Minutes later, however, Frölunda found their second with a deflection of their own on the powerplay.    Play developed when Henkrik Tömmernes played catch with Innala along the near wall before fluttering the puck through traffic as Jacob Peterson managed to redirect it past Ward to regain the home side's one-goal lead.    The visitors continued to play desperate hockey in the final minutes of regulation and were rewarded when, with just 16 seconds to go in regulation, it was Luleå levelling the score thanks to Otto Leskinen's first-ever CHL goal.    Leskinen glided down the near side where the puck eventually made it to his stick, as he corralled it and then fired it far side past Normann.   In the extra session, it was some undisciplined play which resulted in a powerplay opportunity for Frölunda, who made the most of it when Innala converted on a one-timer from inside the near circle that beat Ward clean glove side to lift his team over Luleå and become the 2025/26 CHL Champions.
