Yeah, it's actually fair and even here, unlike world cup city events where they don't swap sides in the later rounds because it's only one run LOL.

Rated PG-34 posted:how do they determine the matchup The team matchup is seeded by world cup (I think??) rankings. The individual matchup seemed to be determined by the top ranked team placing a skier, and then the lower ranked team placing theirs to match. I thought it was a fun event to watch! Didn't really understand the tiebreaker though, especially when some of the skiers didn't finish. Why not just run 5?

team event would be way better with slalom gates and 1-3 gates of variation between rounds. snowboarding parallel slalom is simply irredeemable. abolish all snowboarding events.

Am I crazy or is everyone on the red course winning? Edit: Nope, Korea just progressed to finals on the blue

Well that sucks if they're not equal, but it's pretty cool Ledecka got gold on both skis and snowboard.

like, it's great that Ledecka just made Olympic history, but now I can't help but think that a big part of her winning this medal is that she got to race on the "win" half of the course instead of the "lose" half

bawfuls posted:Every "gate" is really a set of two gates, one the inside gate and the other the outside gate. There is a pair of blue sticks several meters apart and you have to ski between the two of them, then a pair of red sticks and you ski between those two, etc. A bit late on this, but to add a bit: no course would ever actually be set like that, specifically, the last blue gate would always be on the other side, so that the two gates lined up down the fall line (the hairpin) are two turns rather than one. Like this: One embarrassing fuckup that HookShot was referring to that people do sometimes is this:
