And the next snowboard star, reigning halfpipe champion Iouri Podladtchikov is out after his fall in the X-Games. He says he's recovering alright, but starting now would bring the risk to never stand up anymore if he falls on his head again..

Sad, but sensible choice it seems.

still not over it, very sad, also scary precedent for basketball for nba players, and probably means will really never see mlb players in baseball, even in the l.a olympics

They don't need to select her, they have Zagitova (Hint: Everyone who participates in the olympics bet contest should look up her age ...) and Medvedeva. I am only sad that Lipnitskaya won't participa

Would have been very hard for him to win a medal anyway. Switzerland is the best european country in snowboarding halfpipe with an amazing depth (Burgener, Haller, Hablützel), but the fact that it will still be very hard to medal shows how competitive this sport is. Unlike Germany, Switzerland doesn't concentrate on sports where it is easy to win medals (luge, bob, nordic combined) and i clearly prefer that. I would say a medal in snowboarding halfpipe is at least as valuable as 3 or 4 medals in sports like luge or bob. A couple of years back i thought that Hablützel would become a serious gold medal contender, but sadly it didn't quite work out ...

Meillard will for sure be totally destroyed, but she will have at least 3 more olympics if she stays healthy, i think she would have been the 5th favorite for a medal behind Shiffrin, Holdener, Vlhova and Hansdotter. Let's hope that at least Holdener will win a medal (i predicted silver for her).

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

No official word yet but David Hablützel will probably follow suit...

 

It's now official, Hablützel has also withdrawn :(

Hopp Suisse! Forza Italia! Go Canada Go!

      The atmosphere of the Olympics is truly unique，even top-tier favorites face the constant threat of elimination.

      Oliver Martin was born in Wellington, NZ too. Clearly if you want to be a good big air snowboarder you got to start boarding down volcanos in Pacific islands.
