Of course.

Come on, the guy was jesus. Surely that means he can win a competition he's not in, doesn't it?

I can´t watch it. The only way is to pay Viasat a shitload for a month of tv I wont watch. The olympics serioously should be available for anyone to watch and not exclusive to the users of a certain network.

If you have the internet find a way to change your proxy (I use the Hola extension for Chrome. You can change your region to pretty much anywhere in the world) and watch CBC's (easily the best Olympic coverage. The announcers actually know what they are talking about) Olympic coverage at:


(Bonus - it has archived footage of every event so far)

I was looking around on tv and did't see anything about it on any channels that are airing the olympics. Is slopestyle quals and finals solely streaming online?

I guess it depends on where you are watching. I'm in Alberta and qualifiers begin at 11pm. I'm not willing to stay up for the finals (I work at 8), so I'll just have to watch them later. Sucks if you're further east though.

what, that is nuts!!!
I have a feeling this will be the most insane comp ever, they've been training for what 2 weeks? I don't care about all the politics bullshit surronding the olympics, this is gonna be the sickest slopestyle comp in  the history of freeskiing.

  • Here are the guys to love or hate this morning:

    JUDGES MEN'S SLOPE

    Head Judge – USA – Josh Loubek

  • Judge 1 – France – Rafael Regazzoni

    Judge 2 – Sweden – Simon Tjaernstroem

    Judge 3 – New Zealand – Dion Newport

    Judge 4 – Switzerland – Gregory Tuscher

    Judge 5 – Canada – Michael Atkinson


    MY PREDICTION:
    Medals will go to Goepper, Hatveit, Henrik in that order.

    Would love to see Jesper podium, though.
    Plus, if Russ hadn't trashed his knees, I'd bet he'd be up there with them.

    My 2 cents.

Just googled all of them and they all seem legit. Judging is obviously very difficult, but these guys have the background in skiing to give it as good a shot as anyone.

I've been laying in bed for the last three hours trying to get some sleep before the comp. Fuck! My best move now is probably to get some coffee.
