I know it's not a big thing, but I really liked Sharpe high-fiving Martinod's daughter there :d

Well deserved gold from Cassie Sharpe, she had the best amplitude and the most difficulty. I'm usually not super impressed by women's ski halfpipe (I think it's the weakest of the ten "newschool" freestyle ski / snowboard events in the Olympics) but she delivered.

 

Amazing way for Marie Martinod to end her illustrious career, too. Respect to her.

How's men's ski halfpipe? Do we see considerably more turns and 'cork-like' stuff? :p

Ya, it's more or less the same kind of tricks you see in men's snowboard halfpipe. Also way more amplitude than the women's.

 

Men's ski half pipe is slightly behind men's snowboard half pipe in terms of difficulty, but I personally prefer ski freestyle to snowboard freestyle visually so eh :p

That promises to be a lot more watchable in terms of overall strength then :d

How did Porteous get 51 (!) points for that fairly awesome run? :(

    • I’m home with the flu. Tomorrow I will start my job as Swedish jury. It will actually be something good to do when I’m not feeling well. 
    • preliminary entry list for the World Championships (non-Olympic weights) 2024   https://uww.org/article/world-championships-non-olympic-weights-2024-entries   Abdulrashid Sadulaev won the Russian trials yesterday (he didn't look good though) and therefore his name is here, as well as another Olympic Champion Zaur Uguev. with David Taylor, Jordan Burroughs and Reza Geraei we have at least 5 Olympic Champions in the list    also interesting to see lots of guys (Berdimuratov, Ganbaatar, Tsakulov, Kaipanov etc) cut weight massively from their usual Olympic weight to wrestle here.  which shows the importance of a World Championship title    ps: 2024 Olympians are not allowed to wrestle here.
    • I genuinely wonder if ski mountaineering is honestly more popular in terms of audience. Cyclocross quite certainly isn't   Although I believe the season is about to start, so Belgian TV will be busy making it look big again
