What's funny is how shameless the CBC is about it. I swear to god they used G-S-B in 2014 and 2018, but they're going all in on total medals this time around.
Yep, I'm for having some sort of season-long rankings to become the representative at the Olympics as a way to ensure we get the most consistent team. With the Trials, you end up with teams like Homan who perform well in domestic competitions but always choke in the international event.
So this whole competition is basically just a regular women's snowboard cross race? All 4 riders are caught up to each other within the first ~20 seconds of the course on every run.
