    Fair play to the Dutch, if there was ever a performance that deserved to win a medal out of the B finals it was this one.
  2. NearPup
    Well, I don’t think I’ll be happier about any other medal at these Olympics. What an incredible capstone to Virtue and Moir’s career. I honestly didn’t think they could do it.

    There's going to be more than like three people attempting 1080s I can promise you that xD
  4. NearPup
    Billion dollar FCC fine incoming xD

    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
  6. NearPup
    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.
  7. NearPup
    Disagree with the decision for bronze, but it was pretty close.
  8. NearPup
    ...alright, second best banter xD
  9. NearPup
    Marie Martinod has the best banter while waiting for her scores (across all events, not just women's half pipe), and it's not close.

    It’s too bad ski cross wasn’t at the Olympics in 2006 when David and Kraus where at the height of their dominance. I believe if Framce has an alternare on site they can compete, otherwise there will just be one less athlete (we are already down to 26 from 32 due to declined quotas).
  11. NearPup
    No, this is just how she skis. Her strategy is to not fall to finish ahead of anyone who has two falls.
  12. NearPup
    Ya know what would have prevented her from qualifying? Allowing countries to send a maximum of 40 athletes rather than 30 But of course we can’t have that, would be a tragedy if Hungary couldn’t get the fifth realocation.

    Huh, gold medal game is early in the morning Korean time. Gee, I wonder why xd
  14. NearPup
    If Colombia keeps investing in speed skating they may very well end up winning medals, they have a ridiculous depth of tallent in inline. This is a very promising start.
  15. NearPup
    There is something kind of poetic about this result, with the most dominant driver over the last four years (Friedrich) being in a tie with the most dominant driver of the season (Kripps). They both deserved it.
  16. NearPup
    ...not sure how to feel about this xD Both times Canada has won a gold medal in two man at the Olympics it was a tie.
  17. NearPup
    Level seems quite a bit higher than the world cups, good to see Gasser is going to get a run for her money.
  18. NearPup
    This is the kind of track where anyone can have an off day, so who knows.
  19. NearPup
    I actually think the big air format (best two out of 3, cannot count two identical jumps) would work really well with aerials.
  20. NearPup
    In real time I was absolutely certain Schempp had won it. He left his kick just a little too late. Fair play to Fourcade, he is a legend. Awesome race for bronze too.
  21. NearPup
    As much as I'm not thrilled by the judging, respect to the athletes. The level of skiing, especially in qualifying, was incredibly high. Hopefully next time they have qualifying and finals on different days like they do in snowboarding.
  22. NearPup
    Okay, what are the judges smoking?
  23. NearPup
    I am increasingly baffled by the judging in this event. For some reason it's only something I really am confused about at the Olympics...
  24. NearPup
    Oh, they changed the format?
  25. NearPup
    I'm really confused as how he got 95...
