That's the problem with a judging system like this. Judges don't want to post big marks in the early rounds since someone can always pull their best trick in the last round if neccessary. And you will have to overscore that or it will look underscored instead. You always leave the cushion early hence we probably never see 97-98 point jumps in Big Air? I mean even in ski jumping you get a 20.0 for style more often

Oskar Kwiatkowski & Michal Nowaczyk also made Top 16. That at least make us look serviceable in this sport.

KA Aamodt is the only male skier who won golds at 3 different WOG to begin with? Deborah Compagnoni won golds at 3 straight WOG among the women.

Ledecka 2,5 secs faster than Hofmeister in quals. Unless RTM was holding something back, this looks like a no contest tbh. Aleksandra Krol in 8th place so very respectable.

Nils Allegre with another wild French ride at these Games. More in Bailet-wild than Clarey-wild

Good run from Aleksandra Krol. Top 16 guaranteed.

Max Franz also DNF. Well, Austrian depth in speed events is kinda low these days.

Beat Feuz DNF. Kinda mental error.

Holy smokes! Cochran-Siegle goes 2nd! Da fuq is going on here?

Mayer leads by 0,42? Where did that come from

Matthias Mayer almost made a false start

Kriechmayr 0,02 behind Sejersted!

Odermatt DNF!!! He was really pushing it and only 0,07 behind Kilde at the last split.

A.A. Kilde with a huge run! That could be worth a medal

Well, McKayla Maroney won silver while landing on her ass. It doesn't get any worse than that Ledeux's final landing was clearly not-gold medal worthy no matter where this event was held.

Gu wins gold! Ledeux looks pissed!

Nope, that doesn't look good enough from Ledeux with the one ski in the air landing.

Whoa! Gu Ailing pulls the rabbit out of the hat!

Ledecka 0,76 faster than Hofmeister in qualifying run

Yeah, medals pretty much decided already. Looks like another 4th place for

Gremaud actually holds the lead after Gu's second jump. I suppose Ledeux won't crash twice so the podium occupants are basically known already?

Good second jump from Muir but Gremaud with a huge jump to raise her average.

Tess Ledeux takes the early lead in Big Air. Gu Ailing second so I guess the rest can only hope for bronze overall?

I assume even Canadian users here wouldn't have recognized Boyd-Clowes if he walked past them on the street but in 2015 he was forced to start a crowd-funding campaign just to buy plane tickets to attend World or Continental Cups in Europe (he sat out 2014/15 season alltogether). Back then Taylor Henrich was the best Canadian female jumper and even had two World Cup podiums in 2015 but she has retired after 2018 WOG at the age of 23. At least the article predicted that Abigail Strate will be the best among the next generation. Natalie Eilers used to be Canadian #2 but she was displaced by Loutitt before this season. https://calgaryherald.com/sports/mackenzie-boyd-clowes

Btw, Washington Post posted a picture of Nina O'Brien's crash and last time I saw a human's leg bend that way was during NFL game so I assume she broke her ankle at the very least. I don't think she makes it back for the start of next season either
