Here’s a fresh idea; the 2021 X Games will be hosted in some athletes backyard training facilities in Southern California. Some of the Olympic disciplines will be held at a new elite training facility in Southern California as well.

That is actually really cool.

@dcro Marin Rantes :CRO came very close to history this evening. He missed the podium in men’s park by one place. I believe (not certain) he would have been the first Croatian to win a medal at the Summer X Games had he made it onto the podium. It’s also rather impossible to know he close he was to doing that since X Games doesn’t post explicit scores under their new scoring format (the riders are just given a final rank based on overall impression over multiple runs during a jam session).

Women’s Snowboard Halfpipe

Gold- :USA Chloe Kim (96.00)

Silver- :JPN Mitsuki Ono (87.00)

Bronze- :CHN Cai Xuetong (83.66)


IMO :CAN Brooke D’Hondt was severely underscored on her last (76.00), that run was at least a bronze medal and maybe even a silver.

Men’s Snowboard Halfpipe

Gold- :AUS Scotty James (93.00)

Silver- :JPN Ayumu Hirano (87.00)

Bronze- :JPN Kaishu Hirano (86.33)

 

These judges are terrible, Ayumu Hirano deserved the win over Scotty James in my mind.

Why do judges hate Ayumu so much? He reasonably could have three Olympic golds at this point (him not winning in 2014 and 2018 was defensible, but there was an argument for him to win both times), and he almost got robbed in Beijing.
