Absolutely AMAZING ladies!!! That 3rd run from Höfflin was incredible!

 

And to think that just yesterday Gremaud fell in the training, hit her head (but no loss of consciousness and no concussion), went to the hospital, doesn't remember a thing about yesterday, wasn't even sure of running today 2 hours before the race... And she's only 18. The future is bright!!!

Hopp Suisse! Forza Italia! Go Canada Go!

I meant Sildaru :p

 

There where actually quite a few injured people missing, and Zimmermann was indeed a real medal threat (even if Sildaru was healthy). But despite all that, the level of skiing was much improved from four years ago which is a really good sign for slopestyle.

I know, still crazy to talk like that about Sildaru, she might be the best athlete at the moment and certainly is the biggest talent, but exactly how often did she prove it at world championships for example? I think i was the first on here to talk about her, calling her a generational talent and of course a blessing for Estonia, but based on her merits alone she isn't head and shoulders above everyone else. I think today's results also showed how unpredictable this event is, the gold medal winner probably couldn't even be considered an outside gold medal contender based on her world cup results. I hope that we will see Ledeux, Burmansson, Zimmermann, Sildaru and many others battle it out in 2022 and hopefully the big air event will be added soon too.

So hey y'all, if anyone here has even a passive interest in slopestyle, watch this men's ski slopestyle competition. The course is sick and there are like a dozen people with a legitimate chance at gold. It's going to be an insane contest.
