  1. From a point of view a group of 17 athletes that walked away with 3 medals, 11 top 8s and 13 top 10s. Which is ok with a country that only has snow at one specific place for roughly 3 months of the year and isnt known for winter sports. The only blemish we got no golds which is a bit of a disappointment considering we got 2 last time round. But a lot more place getters, in that aspect it's never been better. We have lots of talent in the park and pipe but would love to diversify a little bit and grow the team. But other than that I thought Australia did really well and Brazil. So it's nice to see the Southern Hemisphere get medals, hopefully more in the near future.
  2. I actually rather enjoy it but won't be surprised if it's gone at 2034 which is unfortunate. Or it'll stay because they'd add more events. I really do hope freeride is there in 2034, not only for the action but also for the panoramic views of mountains they go down.
  3. I guess the Danes just love handball too much a bit like our obscene love of rugby in NZ. I always think imagine if some of those rugby players threw a shot put or a hammer throw instead. I mean one former national junior rugby player Tom Walsh is slowly showing the way. I guess some of those Danish handballers could try speedskating. I'm always baffled with the Belgians. Maybe too much love of road cycling.
  4. The Dutch have a long history in speed skating particularly long track where it's a national obsession a lot like Norway and XC skiing. They have over 100 yrs of it so it's tradition etc. With Korea and China not as dominant anymore in short track where its a bit of a lottery that became bonus territory regardless of them getting regular medals since 2014. But you could say it was a given that they'd eventually challenge in that discipline as well.
  5. The Dutch showing the way again. No mountains. Snow hardly lasts a week ends up 3rd on the medal table.
  6. The battle for 3rd place on the medal table between and is still on.
  7. Here in NZ not only is park and pipe popular but freeride skiing and snowboarding is very popular the back country stuff. Would be nice if it were introduced say 2034 in Utah. But apart from the French I don't think the rest of the Europeans would enjoy it lol coz you know everything is about them 🤣
  8. Meh sorry but this discipline is getting absolutely crapped on in social media circles and I can see why. Thankfully it'll be gone by 2034 since its in the
  9. Ferreira has finally done it. Completed the set.
  10. Complete domination by the Japanese riders in all forms of park and pipe snowboarding for both men and women. Whether people like it or not even though its a judged discipline park and pipe in both snowboarding and ski is here for the foreseeable future. Reason, geographic spread of medals. You just don't get that variety in other disciplines. Four continents have won medals for park and pipe in both board and ski. More than any other. As seen by results figure skating and short track (China/Korea) are probably the only winter sports bigger than park and pipe in East Asia. But that will perhaps change with Korea and China failing badly in Short Track.
  11. Nose butters scoring huge. I'm actually OK with scoring lots in style and thats what Frostad had. Deserved gold I feel.
  12. Grateful stuff Mac Forehand. Thoroughly deserved score hope that holds.
  13. Miss Consistency Zoi showing her class.
  14. Mia Brookes is out what a shock
  15. What big air needs is to bring more style in the event. Spinning to win just isn't fun to watch really. I'd love to see huge 1080s with loads of amplitude and more grabs like the bloody Dracula etc. Landing a 2340 or whatever is difficult yes but not great viewing when you see the spinning all the time.
