Or maybe they don't want random people winning the first round. Two runs give more security to the favorites.

 

Two runs is more fair indeed, so my preference would be to have two runs in every round, but that'd take too much time I guess.

They could just limit the number of qualifiers to 16 like in alpine snowboarding...

That would be another option. How does the qualifying work? I hope it's not 2-by-2, meaning 50% of the field has an advantage if one of the two tracks is slightly faster?

It currently is for alpine skiing. In snowboarding the top 16 from each course qualifies for the second preliminary round, and the top 16 combined times from both courses make it through.

    • Exactly. Recent developments of the construction haven't been particularly encouraging, and while they'll probably get everything sorted just in time, a lot of North American fans have been quite vocal about every minor inconvenience.

    • Yeah. It was pretty bad that they cancel the contract with the original creative director after 7 months of work. I feel like politics, in this particular context of the changing of prime minister and the cabinet, may had caused changes in organizational decisions regarding the Sea Games including the direction of the opening ceremony. 
    • That's what I figured.  Wouldn't be a proper lead up to an Olympics without some media-fueled fearmongering.
