if you look at the WSF rankings in the 2 disciplines, those competing in one are not even ranked in the other...

 

Still, after taking a quick look at some videos, there seems to be less difference between the two than between halfpipe and slopestyle... :p

These three medal moves happened in a matter of around 40 seconds in the video btw, which is filled with people who look like they're playing around in the local town skate park. And people dare complain about e-sports.

Oskar Rosenberg-Hallberg & Nora Vasconcellos Win 2017 World Championships

 

With the risk of rain ruining the party the worlds best skaters took it apon them selves to bring the heat and light up the custom built skatepark for the 2017 World Championships held on the banks of the Huangpu River in Shanghai, China.

 

Oski Takes The Title

 

Oskar Rosenberg-Hallberg (SWE) linked together a mind blowing run using every inch of the park to be crowned the 2017 Men's Vans Park Series World Champion. Crowd favourite Pedro Barros (BRA) did what he knows best and went huge on his last run to put down a run that placed him in the runner up position. Tom Schaar (USA) continued his amazingly consistent year coming in at 3rd place

New Level Raised in Women's Skateboarding 

 

The level of women's park terrain skating is at an all time high. Leading the way was Nora Vasconcellos who claimed her first major victory on the Vans Park Series. Nora edged out 2016 world champion Brighton Zeuner who continues to raise the bar along with Kisa Nakamura who earned 3rd place for the 2nd year in a row.

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
