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.

    • But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.   
    • And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.
    • Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response
    • It was.  Lately is just tears of people who hate that we kill all their idols like Sinwar and Nasrallah.    It's surprisingly nutritious 
    • Algeria is third world.  Unless you lied about that as well and you don't actually live there.  Though I dont know why would someone pretend they live in that forgotten hell hole
    • You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.    
    • I don't think dropping a bomb in the center of London would be beneficial to their position on the stage of global sports, but hey, who knows  
    • Not typical a sport news, but worth to mention. Konrad Bukowiecki and Natalia Kaczmarek did married today. From now officialy Natalia will change her surname to Bukowiecka, she will not follow her team mates and will not have double surname
