That's the strangest thing indeed. I guess he didn't just go to the time guys to protest? At least as far as I know in most sports those are not the people to file official protests...

 I don’t know, the coach said they made 3 protests and nothing was done about it so he had to go focus on the bronze medal match. He said “they probably just wanted a Korean in the final”, which seems to be true.

“Nobody from FIS didn’t even want to hear about re-watching something. I’ve never even seen the time written.”

Dirty politics. This is not a sport. Very sad

You really have to feel sad for alpine snowboarders nowadays. They just want to participate in a competitive sport but get mistreated by the ioc, the rules are ridiculous and the jury makes political decisions. 

Why does every sport get more and more events but instead of making the logical step to include a snowboard team event they scratch a discipline? Why the hell would anyone think a parallel event without reruns is a good idea? That whole concept has "unfair" written all over it. And if you think there is still any dignity to safe for this event don't make the decision who gets into the final a political one. These olympics have simply been a disaster for parallel snowboarding.

Just going to delete my post because it was a long screed on different definitions of 'cheating' and the majority of sport fans acceptance of it.
