Snowboarding at the Winter Olympic Games 2018


Recommended Posts

Don't know if this has been discussed already, but I just really don't like cross events with 6 athletes per run. The start gets way too important when a bad start means you have to overtake 5 people to win a run. It seems like olympic organizers always think bigger=better

Well, being back after the start might be just about the smartest strategy for this final. :d

Better than 4 athletes per run though. That's too little action.

Let's see if Jacobellis can do it....let's be fair, seeing her career, she would really, really deserve an Olympic gold instead of being the eternal Queen of Chokes.

    • ""The most important thing, in my opinion, is mental preparation" - Maria Vynnyk said this on Thursday after winning the first major gold medal; maybe this is where the secret lies. As you said, Ukrainian girls have always been strong, but not dominant at continental level; my conjecture is that the Russian invasion has made them mentally stronger, giving them that extra edge needed to tilt the balance in the final stages of a competition.
