Women's Slope Discussion

this course is kind of bullshit. there is no way she should have undershot those jumps that much. she landed fine on the jumps before and went straight.
 
This course is way, way, too slow to be safe right now. These girls are going for it on both size takeoffs but they keep knuckling and getting worked. What the fuck...
 
And the speed issues are because there are fucking slush ruts everywhere. This is so shitty...
 
props to kim, one of the few girls to actually stick a second run, so much style and tricks on all the rails. thought she should have been in 2nd, though it was close.
 
Commentators here in Australia are calling tricks out pretty well. Calling out corks, mistys, flatspins and the grabs pretty well. Bummed to see Anna Segal miss out on the podium, kind of thought she deserved it.
 
Lamarre should have taken second. that run was so much smoother. Segal should have been in third and logan in fourth. her run was ugly. also that zero spin was fucking awesome. a run with a zero spin got an olympic medal. that's fucking awesome!
 
I just heard that Yuki is being treated for a broken jaw. Nothing mentioned about her knee so it may be ok, or they haven't looked at that yet
 
Yeah she had a smooth run and got her landings down but a zero spin on the last jump getting her 3rd? for sure it's a hard trick on a jump that size especially with a landing that slushy but still, didn't expect it to score where it did
 
Top 3 Runs if I got it right:

Dara Howell: Gap to Rail blind 270 Off, Railslide, Railslide Switch Off, Switch Left 7 Critical, Switch Left 9 Mute, Left Flat 5 Bow & Arrow

Devin Logan: Disaster Frontside 270 Off, Switch On Railslide, Lipslide Switch Off, Switch On Shifty Off (High Box), Right 5 Japan, Switch Left 5 Safety, Left Cork 7 Blunt

Kim Lamarre: Disaster 270 On, Blind 270 Off, Lipslide Switch Off, Switch On (High Box), Flat 3 Japan, Left 5 Mute, Switch Zero Spin Safety
 


Not sure if this will upload, but Yuki Tsubota crash here -

I'm disappointed. Another generation of women pros are now going to be able to barely do anything to win and get paid.dammnit
 
Not sure what you mean.....the best in the field by far has won. Tiril and Maggie would have been serious contenders though.
 
Dara's run was actually sick! Fun to watch and good style.

also Lamarre's rail section should have put her ahead of Logan.
 
Daras run was obviously deserving of first by miles. Such bullshit that Kim got put behind Devin though, her rail section was ridiculously tight (only girl to spin onto rails) and she did by far the most stylish and creative jump trick that not a single other girl in that contest would even think of trying off that jump in those conditions.
 
that course in those conditions was not safe.

props to the girls for sending it in such slow conditions/retarded bomb holes on the landings.

that zero spin was ridiculous mad respect to kim.
