Posted February 2Feb 2 Hi all! This thread is the thread for covering all snowboarding-related disciplines at the Winter Olympics this year. Feel free to discuss all the ins and outs of the disciplines, any predictions you may have, support for the competitors and other remarks you may have as we kick off on Saturday!
February 6Feb 6 Qualification for Men's Big Air happened yesterday - looking at the results the striking thing seems to be tht almost everyone European got booted out! Just one Italian left in the final.
February 12Feb 12 Author Chloe Kim just misses third-straight gold in halfpipe, South Korea's Choi Ga-on wins.
February 12Feb 12 Incredible comeback from Choi Ga-on, especially after that nasty fall in the first run where I wasn't sure she'd come back, that felt really deserved in what was quite a brutal round.
February 12Feb 12 Author Certainly was an remarkable comeback from Choi Ga-on especially that nasty fall when she was on the ground for quite a bit. An half pipe full of falls this evening.
February 13Feb 13 Yeah absolutely - we weren't sure if she was going to even start the second run and then she pulls that out of the bag in the third run!Just watched both the men's and women's Snowboard Cross - both incredibly tight as always and neither went to script! Haemmerle getting a second Olympic gold whilst the top seed finished fourth was a real spectacle, and Josie Baff coming out of nowhere (the 17th-seeded rider ) was pretty spectacular as well.
February 15Feb 15 A gold medal for Huw Nightingale and Charlotte Bankes in the mixed team snowboard cross! That's an exciting sport to watch, well done both of them.It's Great Britain's first ever gold medal on snow!
February 15Feb 15 Author Congratulations Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale on gold in the mixed team snowboard cross. An great performance from both.
February 16Feb 16 Just caught up on this now - a fantastic result! Really happy for both of them, particularly given the difficulties they both faced in the individual events.
