Didn't Henrik saw how everyone was throwing it already? You can't just lay down your average qualifying run there... He's capable how way more than that, it's a bit disappointing

lol Oscar's run was a 95? So questionable. Def was sick run and deserved to qualify, but a 95? get out of here.

Qualifiers. If you have the NBC Sports app you can stream just the ski slope.

These judges are so confusing.. Can someone explain how Adelisse got a 10 SCORE??? He didn’t fall if I’m not wrong and he still pullled off a triple in the end meanwhile others fall and just ski down the rest of the slope not even jumping but getting better scores..

I was wondering this too, I looked away for like half of his run to get a drink of water and when I saw him pull out I assumed he fucked up a landing earlier or something.

What helmet does Woodsy have? Looks like he had to cover up the logo with a little piece of black tape.

His score was fine, it's just oystein shouldn't have scored a fucking 95 with his run. Like what run do you give a 96 to lol? the only one I can think of was Woodys first run if he didn't fall.

Gus had two hammer runs in qualies, I don't think his body was up for another three runs. For someone with a broken thumb and blood drained from his hip twice, he did as much as he could.

I have a feeling since Oysteins run was the first one properly landed the whole way, the judges simply overscored it. Yes, he did a grab switch, but so did Goepper in a TRIPLE (one could argue that tail to tail is harder than mute to dub jap but whatever). Goepper also had a slight advantage on the rails imo.
Had Woodsy landed his first run it most likely would've been a near perfect score in my view. Overall, the judging felt super off in this comp unfortunately. I still don't know what Dahl did wrong to get a 70.

Goepper got scored accordingly. The real story is how Oystein got a 95 and Woodsy, Teal, Ferdi with the sickest run of the whole event imo all got fucking robbed. Scoring was not on point whatsoever
