2018 winter olympics

David Wise is the most decorated halfpipe skier of all-time. Going into the Olympic Games, he is on fire and is everyone’s favorite to win back to back gold medals. He’s a likable 27 year old going on 40. He has a wife, 2 kids, and likes to spend a lot of time alone in the woods bowhunting...

Men's halfpipe is the final freeski discipline of PyeongChang 2018 and based on todays qualis, the finals in two days time are going to be a heavy way to end the show. Today the riders had to contend with a later time slot, meaning that the looker's righthand wall of the pipe was far softer than...

The third of four sets of Olympic freeski medals were decided today in the halfpipe of PyeongChang. The pipe looks incredible and on that basis, the men's event is going to be totally bonkers, with qualifiers in a couple of hours and finals in a couple of days. There really was only ever going...

Kim Jin-Hee was watching the womens ski pipe contest with her friends on the skiers right wall. Her friends mentioned that they had gotten quite an early start on the cocktails, and weren't even sure if Kim had ever actually slept after the previous night of partying. In between runs Kim...

The pipe in PyeongChang is looking good and the Olympic women's halfpipe qualifiers just went down under blue skies, in perfect conditions. On both sides of the gender divide there's a pretty big gulf between the top riders and the rest in halfpipe. As a result, we generally saw safe(ish) runs...

Arguably the biggest event in freeskiing, the men's slopestyle finals at the 2018 Olympics, just finished up in Pyeongchang. After an interesting qualifications in which the scoring seemed all over the place, we looked to the judges to clean things up finals. Did they? Not entirely. There were...

The results are in from the 2018 Olympics men's slopestyle qualifier. Result number one is that men's slopestyle skiing has hit a ridiculous level. The Olympic course and conditions were flawless and as predicted, even making the finals today took a stellar run. Sadly, the Olympic judges seemed...

Yesterday Jason and myself published our predictions for women's slopestyle and it's safe to say we didn't do great. Both of us went 0 for 3 on our actual podium calls but we did both have Sarah and Mathilde down as wildcards. Between us, we called the jump runs the'd need to medal spot on so...

There's a great atmosphere at the bottom of the slopestyle course in South Korea and the ladies were sending it today in the finals. The first freeski medals of the 2018 Olympic Games have now been decided. With Tess Ledeux missing out on finals and Kelly Sildaru/Giulia Tanno injured, the door...

The first freeski event of the 2018 Olympic Games is under way and the ladies were sending it from the off on the biggest course of the year. Things are looking good out in Korea: loads of spectators in the stands watching on, flawless looking course and freeskiing on its biggest stage. There...

In a bold and almost inevitably successful attempt to make ourselves look more foolish than normal, we're going to be publishing our predictions for the Olympic podium spots in each of the four freeski events. To make things interesting, multiple time X Games head judge and all around boss Jason...

American slopestyle boss and defending silver medalist, Gus Kenworthy, just can't seem to catch a break, for lack of a better term. After breaking his thumb on a crash yesterday, Gus landed super heavy on his hip and needed it to be drained so that the hematoma (bruise) would heal faster...

The antics of the Swiss Freeski Team have been a highlight of the Olympic buildup. Unfortunately, two of the team have become the first athletes in PyeongChang to contract the norovirus strand that has been plaguing staff at the Olympic village. The unfortunate pair, Elias Ambuhl and social...
