men's qualifierfinals later today
Damn that must be some soft snow
>On at the same time as halfpipeShould be a good hour for crashes.
they need to go all in on drone shots, tired of getting them only once in a blue moon
>Training wheel ramp>3.6 difficulty vs others doing 5.6Embarrassing desu.
>>153562040Safety strat maybe? If you think you're in a better place to qualify with a consistent but lower scoring run that might be the better play?
>>153562045He only started it a year or two back.
How do you watch this knowing these blokes could fuck up and heem themselves on any given run? This applies to most of the events at this stupid thing
>>153562150That's why I watch
never seen this sport before
It's impressive but everyone seems to be doing two fulls and a double full in some random order.Is there more to it than that?
>>153562150Where do you think you are?
crash train going on wtf bros
>Ski ends up impaled in the snowkino
he's got a swiss tooth
There sure are a lot of Ukrainians in this event. Are they a powerhouse nation? One of their guys tried the most difficult trick (and didn't land it cleanly).
Starting up again.
Aerials is unironically the most terrifying Winter Olympics discipline to me. One wrong landing and your life is effectively over
>We really aren't going to get any medals until Men's Ice Hockeyholy grim
>>153563378lol I've got some bad news for you
how do you even practice for this
>>153563375half pipe is more dangerous as seen on the crasheshere they land on much softer snow while on pipe they basically land on ice
>>153563378In the gold medal game for men's curling. Playing for a spot in the gold game with the girls in 30 minutes or so.
>>153563378>doesheknow
>>153563396link to thread or webms? or should i just watch the replay
>>153563394The Australian girls at least do it into a pool.
>>153563394On giant airbags (back in the days they trained at a lake)
>>153563397If we didn't medal in Curling/Hockey it would be a nuclear meltdown.But all of our Skiiing/Snowboarding/Skating has been really poor this year.
is it already over? the swiss guy had the most difficult planned trick
>>153563403the thread is still live and there was a dangerous womens crash yesterday too
>>153563394When you're training, you go off the ramp and land in a pool of water so you don't get hurt. I don't understand why people don't freeze to death skiing into lakes, though.
>>153563415this is semis
>>153563394this is just gymnastics but on skis
That dude almost died lmao
they are all crashing
How the fuck do they ski this off, it literally just looked like he snapped his back in half
I wonder what this sport looked like 100 years ago
>>153563419what the fuck why is it called final then?
>>153563418you know you don't need snow to ski?
That was too high, surely that was too high
That guy got absolutely yeeted into the air.>>153563415This """finals""" is two tricks, highest scoring people through to the "Super Final".The Super Final is the actual medal final, where the scores are reset and it's a single jump for each athlete and the highest scores win.
>>153563430probably some story behind it idktop 6 go through
Why are they jumping onto a pile of dirt
>>153563430it's called Final 1 and it's before Final 2
The commentators just said (but this is a repeat so they probably said this hours ago) that the reason the snow they're landing on is so dirty is because they put pine needles down on it so you can see it. I had never thought that if you're spinning in the air, and the ground is white and the sky is white, you might not know where the ground is. That's pretty cool.
>>153563442This is so retarded, you just know the system originated from burgerland
What's the difference between this and big air? No grabs?
>>153563448final 1 sounds more important, like some of the other sports have big finals and small finals
>>153563449they should have put the pine needles into the sky instead
>>153563429It didn't exist, it appeared in 1992, along with speed skiing and ski ballet, sadly they only kept this shit.
>>153563448Final 1 and Final 2 in all the other events has been runs/turns at doing a trick with them both counting.
would be funny if one of those drones got in someones butt mid air
So the chinese are all gym rejects?
So what's the most difficult trick anyone ever performed in this sport?
>>153563477pretty sure every single one of them there is a gymnasti can't imagine someone would start doing this otherwise
DELETE!
weeeeeee
why don't they go down the big air hill for this?
>>153563478Apparently a full full full... They all do it.
>>153563497They'd die on landing.
>Back Full-Triple Full-Full>Back Full-Double Full-Full>Back Full-Double Full-Full>Back Double Full-Full-Double Fulllmao at those trick names
>>153563497they would fucking die
>>153562020halfpipe isn't until hours from now>>153563416the threads from the 11th and 12th are still active?
MY knees hurt while watching this
>homophobic yellingI thought it was 2026
>>153563504Seems pretty boring then tbqh. Guess I'll turn this off
imagine how it feels to try, for the first time, the ramp that throws you directly 90 degrees upwards
>>153563523it's the only thing on right now
>>153563517i'm talking about a thread from today from ski halfpipe qualis
>americans all fucking up
Take a shot for every>IIIIIIIIIIIIIIINcrediiiiiiibleeee
>>153563461That's where they were when they were on the pine trees and it didn't work.
>>153563542We stand together, Burgerbro
back full double full full
why's the asian boy celebrating like he just got a new calculator
>>153563497They need a ramp that goes up almost vertically.
>>153563517>Replying to posts from 3.5 hours ago
The Swiss mog the fuck out of this sport
>>153563579>He says with 4 Chinamen in the top 6
why do some of them go up with just one arm held up?
>>153563585>pity bronze
The replays with the multiple freezes in the air and the Matrix bullet-time rotations are pretty cool. They might even be useful for viewers who understand this sport at all.
>>153563585yeah but the swiss are 1-2meanwhile the amerifats are 10-11-12
>Swiss beating ChangUnacceptable.People will start going for it now since this is the last jump to make it through.
>swiss>power gap>china>power gap>everyone elseKek interesting sport
amusing flag order
>SUI>SUI>CHN>CHN>CHN>CHN>CAN>CAN>UKR>USA>USA>USAOk I think I see a pattern
>>153563588They move their arms to spin more or less
>>153563588They hold their arms up when they go down because it slows them down and lets them hang in the air for longer. Doing it with just one arm must be for certain specific tricks, or skiers who don't weigh as much or something.
>>153563598Ukrainian is apparently quite good. Went with huge difficulty, just messed up the landing.
?? the women only got 1 Finals jumpmy amerihog slampig definitely could've stomped this chong with another try>>>/wsg/6095420https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1771441858102866.webm
Would be interesting to see helmet cam from this.
Is it the sum of points for both jumps or best of?
>>153563617What did she say ?
>>153563627Best of.
>>153563642What's the point of a less difficult 2nd jump then? Just staying in shape?
What does kicker mean?
>>153563588it's an olympic tradition
>>153563617>NBC
Wait a minute... This is just diving without the shirtless twinks.pox on this bullshit. I'm going to bed after one more rum
>can't even beat one chinaman
>>153563654The ramp, there's two of them
>>153563622i want that too>>153563654also curious
>>153563663>I'm going to bed after one more rummy plan too
RAKED
They should have a box with a question mark on it suspended in the air above the ramp, and for the first athlete who touches it during their jump, a mushroom comes out and makes them really big. That would make the second jump more exciting.
lmao nice front flip on the bottom
>>153563649That guy had the highest scoring jump already. Could have sat it out if he wanted desu.
>>153563617oh it's a fake "final" before the cut and get 1 more
weeeeee
>>153563663>>153563686The actual final final is on in a few minutes.Best single jump so they'll all be going nuts with the difficulty.
>>153563714I don't want anyone to get hurt
>>153563719bit too late for that, last guy just totally beefed it
is this the CTE induction sport?
this is just a suicide sport
All the Ukrainians have eaten shit in this.
Based Ukrainian for going for it
>>153563637OK!最后是华表空中技巧第一个配点,What the... What!
>>153563752hard to practice when russia is bombing you
concussion city, ukraine
>>153563768what's americans excuse?
Not a single person has broken into the top 6 from the first round, lel.
>>153563776hard to practice when ICE is shooting citizens in the street
Looks brutal
>CBC overhypes all Canadians>Athlete gets a terrible score
>Hardly anyone can stick the landing Is Aerials usually like this?
i'm switching to biathlon
>>153563819Kinda. Super Finals is whoever sticks the landing wins.
>>153563819I feel like going 60ft up and 40mph you dont want to land straight legs.
This used to be my fabourite mode in Ski or Die in addition to the halfpipe.
>>153563883>Ski or die>Using a snowboard
Why do the camera operators love these three fucking huts so much
>>153563903Well, it's got snowboarding, aerials, donwhill skiing, inner tube racing and snowball fight, so only two events with actual skis.
>>153563850Based
Did china get more liberal or do they just not care about the Winter Olympics? Since when are their athletes allowed to cry
>>153563991Maybe they have to train abroad so they are corrupted by capitalism
>>153563991Crying because he brought great shame to his country.
It's shaping up to be >chinawinslol
whitebros, i don't feel so good
>132.x>132.x>132.x
>>153563991Crying as a man is the sign of being weakling, too emotional, too much estrogen.
Commentators calling him /weakmind/
Any webm bros here with the glasses removal? Good reaction image that.

KWAB
>husband and wife both gold medalists
>>153564216Fuck that's close lmao But as always>judged sport Lmao
>>153564128
Why did the Chinese guy get 4 tries?
>>153564216Air form is worth more than landing.Swiss got done by China's robots.
>>153564260Thank you.
after watching replays of all the jumps i think there was no rigging and chink spun betteri blame the other swiss who failed the landing, his jump was better, if he'd land he would have won gold
Why does average Chinese athlete do what overhyped Chinese chick couldn't?
YELLOWS BTFO
NEVERMIND
>>153564411Gu is going to win gold tomorrow in the halfpipe.
>>153564471But really she should be getting gold in big air and slopestyle too
>>153564411if you're talking about GU, she won silver in a discipline she didn't start in for 4 yearsyou can only make fun of her if she loses in half pipe
>>153564491I don't hate her. I don't want to laugh at her. But I really can't stand how overhyped she is.
>>153564491>you can only make fun of her if she loses in half pipeWhat if I want to make fun of her for having a silly name?
SUCC pody
>>153564533don't worry, she's gonna change it to polish last name soon
So why don't Japanese have any presence in ski despite dominating snowboard?
>>153564491>you can only make fun of her if she loses in half pipeOh we will, we will.
>>153564557>don't worry, she's gonna change it to polish last name soonYes, that is reassuring. I'll still be able to make fun of her for having a silly name.
>>153564564They don't have a ski culture at all.
>>153563850I used to play pic related with a floppy disk on my dad's pc, very comfy
>>153563850>>153565084Olympic video games seemed like a good idea until you play them and realise 9/10 of the subgames suck and the 1/10 is mediocre at best.
Somehow very impressive and boring
>>153565100they were time at the time of DOS stuff, but as games got more complex the genre became less appealing
>>153566201they were fine*
THE DRONE IS FREAKING THEM OUTINVESTIGATE THE DRONES!
