SkiFreak Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Could've been a better outcome. But we got our first medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Man, both of Max's qual scores would have been first >.> Canada was robbed again !! this is so bs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox334 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Canada was robbed again !! this is so bs! I'd need to watch Max's qualification runs again, but honestly I don't think his final run deserved much better than what he got. The judging was super inconsistent, but the judges seemed more than willing to give Max a big score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The judging was super inconsistent, but the judges seemed more than willing to give Max a big score. He did the 1620. Which no other skier did. The 1620 is the hardest jump to do.

Faster Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 At some points it seemed like the judges were thinking about placement when giving scores. Oh well, the London trend continues. Losing an event Canadians were gold medal favourites to an American that over-performs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blarghman Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 JP Leguellec shoots clear in the sprint, definitely right there for a medal chance, might just be a few seconds in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarghman Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Just missed out by four seconds, great result for him, and he'll get a nice start in the pursuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 He beats Fourcade and Svendsen and isn't in a medal position. I don't think you could have predicted both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gangwon Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I'm watching the medal ceremony right now for slope style, McMorris looks great up there. Such a likable guy! Congrats buddy on your bronze, what a fantastic lifetime achievement for such a young kid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I still can't believe Leguellec beat Fourcade, Elder, Fak, and Svendson and didn't win a medal. I would have absolutely been over-the-moon for him and the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have absolutely been over-the-moon for him and the team. At least he's in a good position for the pursuit. 9 seconds back from the leader.

Faster Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 krow is not an asshole. He is a tongue-in-cheeky poster that has more wit than most. So happy for Justine and Chloe. Gold and Silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLishere Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Amazing runs by the Dufour sisters. Gold and Silver! And they beat the defending Olympic champion Hannah Kearney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofan Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I know. I think Krow's hilarious. It's just his style is to purposely seem like one. Definitely lightens up the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox334 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Queen Kearney has been dethroned. A bit bummed for her that she didn't performed at her best but, damn, gold and silver for the Dufours-Lapointe. That's just amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit bummed for her that she didn't performed at her best but, damn, gold and silver for the Dufours-Lapointe. That's just amazing. I feel the same for McMorris / Parrot. They were easily favorites coming into slopestyle. Parrot pulled 96/97 scores in Aspen. McMorris got 98 scores in the X Games. They're so capable and would easily win any X Game. They just didn't bring it for the Olympics, when it mattered. Too many falls or hand-checks. Would've loved to see 2 Canadians in the top 3.
