Don't think there is an athlete I want to see win gold more then McMorris in this years Olympics. What an unbelievably tough 4 years for that man.

Laurie Blouin - defending world champ and gold medal threat - caught a rut on a trick, crashed and is being attended. be well Laurie.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

That isn't good. Looked like she was stretchered off the hill. Hopefully it is precautionary.

Slopestyle is starting now on TSN.

Way to go Carlos!

Qualified second for men’s slopestyle. Could definitely have NZ a medal.

 

[TJ Hooker]

The commentary is just so f***ing bad.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Looks like Canada will be 4/4 in the finals.

Snowboarding was basically Canada and Norway dominating and everyone else a step behind lol

McMorris is a freak.

Finals is 12 person final. 4 Canadians and 4 Norwegians. Crazy.

I feel sorry for the Austrian guy. Both of his scores would have qualified in Group A, but since he was in Group B he failed to make the final. That's rough. Hell if you combined both scores he would be #4 overall (I know that doesn't work cause already qualified guys don't really try in 2nd run etc but still).

Does anyone know why they split it into heats? It makes sense to do that when you are racing against others (like in snowcross), but I don't understand why they would do it this way.

No idea. Does seem very unfair.

Reduces wait times and groups people to keep them in the same weather conditions.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I believe it is mostly to give them time to maintain the condition on the hill. The first group was definitely weaker but it also cleared up a lot for the second group which can help a lot.

Markus Kleveland is my favourite. So much style for daysss

Judging at the 2014 finals was weird. Hopefully it's better this time.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Tyler Nicolson crashed

 

[Daisy Jane]

Sebs Touts choked it too lol

 

[SpoolCat]

McMorris was good.

 

[Filppula]

Great by McMorris!

Been a lacklustre start today, last two guys have picked it up.

 

[Daisy Jane]

McMorris stomped it!

McMorris stomped it!

A few minor mistakes early but jumps awesome and maybe judged a little harshly I thought.

Kleveland knocks him down to 3rd.
