Freestyle Skiing at the Winter Olympic Games 2018


Recommended Posts

still by miles better than any Slovak halfpipe skier will ever perform ;) and maybe she is not 100% healthy , is injured but wanted too much experience her Olympic dream...or just was quite scarred by the real size of the PyeongChang Halfpipe :d

No, this is just how she skis. Her strategy is to not fall to finish ahead of anyone who has two falls.

Ophélie David injured herself during a training session so she won't compete in women's skicross :( https://www.lequipe.fr/Skicross/Actualites/Jo-2018-ophelie-david-se-blesse-gravement-au-genou-a-l-entrainement/877372 (sorry, couldn't find an article in English)

She's always been unlucky at the Winter Games...

How does it work though? Is there just gonna be one less athlete competing in the heats?

Ya know what would have prevented her from qualifying? Allowing countries to send a maximum of 40 athletes rather than 30 :p

 

But of course we can’t have that, would be a tragedy if Hungary couldn’t get the fifth realocation.

 

Indeed, it would be tragedy as I probably wouldn't have watched it. :p I mainly watched the qualification to see the Danish and the Hungarian skier...

 

And btw, half of the performances there were downright depressing, with many athletes not being able to get above halfpipe even if their life depends on it. :p Main problem seems to be in the event. Swaney was just smart.

It’s too bad ski cross wasn’t at the Olympics in 2006 when David and Kraus where at the height of their dominance.

 

I believe if Framce has an alternare on site they can compete, otherwise there will just be one less athlete (we are already down to 26 from 32 due to declined quotas).

    • Bolshunov's last ditch bid to be admitted to the Games as a neutral has failed on a bureaucratic technicality.   Bolshunov's CAS appeal against Olympic ban fails on technicality
    • That's the tree she should have been barking up all along.  I wonder if there are issues between her and the USABS too. I noticed they kept their names off all these appeals and advocacy she's been doing, it's the USOPC backing her.

    • and after  we got the scalp of  in a World Cup warm-up match played in  Dubai    once again, it was a late surge with the bats, finishing with a 6 by Zain Ali at the very last ball (when we needed a 4 to tie and a 5 to win the match)    final score:  165/7 (20 overs),  167/7 (20 overs);  win by 3 wickets
    • China's medal prospects   Short Track Speed Skating: This is the event with the deepest emotional ties to China's winter sports, as China's first Olympic gold medal in winter sports came from this discipline. Unsurprisingly, people have high expectations for it in this Winter Olympics. Medal prospects are mainly focused on men's individual events and the two relay events. However, considering the strong strength of William Dandjinou, I think the probability of winning gold in men's individual events is very low. Instead, the main gold medal hopes lie in the men's relay and mixed relay. Medals: 1-3. My guess: 1 gold; Optimistic: 2 golds   Freestyle Skiing: The performance of this event is crucial to China's success in this Winter Olympics. Eileen Gu remains our super star and is highly competitive in slopestyle and halfpipe. As for the big air, if I remember correctly, she hasn't competed in this event since the Beijing Winter Olympics, so it's hard for me to make a clear judgment on her performance in this individual event. China has the potential to compete for medals or even gold in all three medal events of freestyle skiing aerials. However, given the unpredictability of aerials, the results could be either disastrous or brilliant. Xu Mengtao will compete in her fifth Winter Olympics. Medals: 3-6. My guess: 3 golds; Optimistic: 4 golds   Speed Skating: Similar to the situation in Beijing, the medal hopes still lie with Gao Tingyu and Ning Zhongyan. However, Stolz has shown extremely strong dominance during the Milan Olympic cycle, so I don't think there will be any gold medals in this event. Gao Tingyu has performed excellently in the previous two Winter Olympics, and I still believe he can win a medal in the 500m. Ning Zhongyan also has the potential to win medals in the 1000m and 1500m. Medals: 1-3. My guess: 0 gold; Optimistic: 0 gold   Snowboard: Like in Beijing, Su Yiming remains the star of China's snowboarding. He has maintained a very good competitive form this season, with great chances especially in the big air event, where he will aim to defend his title. He also has the potential to win a medal in slopestyle. Medals: 1-2. My guess: 1 gold; Optimistic: 1 gold   Skeleton: Men's events and mixed team events are opportunities to compete for medals, with Yin Zheng being the key athlete for medal contention. Medals: 1-2. My guess: 0 gold; Optimistic: 1 gold   Curling: China will send both men's and women's teams to this event. Both teams have the ability to compete with high-level strong teams. I predict that either the men's or women's team will reach the top four. Medals: 0-1. My guess: 0 golds; Optimistic: 0 golds   Ski Jumping: This is still a less developed event for China, but Zeng Ping has made significant progress this season, entering the top 8 in many high-level competitions. There is a chance to compete for a medal, but it will be very difficult to achieve. If it really happens, I think it will be quite incredible. Medals: 0-1   I think other events have no chance of winning medals.   summary, Optimistic: 8 golds and 17 medals;  My guess: 5 golds and 14 medals;  Worst-case scenario: 3 golds and 11 medals.
    • still, I'm more interested in what Jutta's going to wear under the suit 
    • we're in Italy! calm down and relax...   everything necessary will appear when it will appear, possibly at least a few hours before the action starts (but don't get mad if it's a few days after the Games are underway)   pure Italian style 
    • So tomorrow, the girls will made a protest prior to the mass start for the not-inclusion of Women Nordic Combined into the Olympics   I mean, yeah IOC and FIS have a point that the sport has so few medalled nations in the last decades, but in other hands they still keep in the olympics sports like Equestrian, diving or table tennis where even less nations medal for almost centuries now 
    • I was just doing my prediction on the other thread, and then I calculated... I had 21 Gold, 8 Silver, 15 Bronze.  Probably a little too hopeful.   Oops!  (And I didn't even think I was being too optimistic as I was filling it out...guess so...)
