intoronto 4,073 Posted February 8, 2022 #201 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Just now, NearPup said: China lost a super close call in men's slopestyle that a lot of people think they got wrong (the BBC claims to have spoken to one of the judges who said they missed Parrot's leg grab and that had they spotted it he wouldn't have won). So I really don't think this applies to these park and pipe events. To my eye Gu deserves the win. McMorris had a better run than Su in his fina lrun... so either way Canada would have won gold.

NearPup 2,095 Posted February 8, 2022 #202 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I think being consoled by the Thomas Bach, Olympic champion, Montreal 1976, Fencing is objectively worse than losing gold at the last minute.

After looking back at the event sober mindedly my definitive take is that you can make a credible case that any of the three medallists deserved to win. But it was close enough that if there was any home cooking Su would have won, and it would probably have been less controversial than the result that actually happened.

PHI2019 188 Posted February 8, 2022 #207 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Why is it that some of the athletes in the Big Air competition don’t have their two best runs count in the final score or in the case of the 12th place athlete, just the third run?

Some scores got "A" and some got "B" and it seems to be the best A and best B put together. The person in 12th had three As. Basically, you can't do the same rotation twice or they'll both count as A (this happened to the athlete) As now we come across the world To share these Games of old Let all the flags of every land In brotherhood unfold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monzanator 3,569 Posted February 8, 2022 #210 Share Posted February 8, 2022 1 hour ago, Grassmarket said: Sure, but did the judges under-mark her first two jumps? I think so. 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 mrv86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
