The big air is incredible but barring when they fall I am clueless as to what the scores are likely to be.

Spin/tricks can be a bit difficult to see, but the other main points of the scoring is how clear/long they hold the grab trick, how high/long they jump, clean landing without touching the snow.
Aw man
Probably a daft question thos but if you didn't get as much air (height and length) but squeeze pure tricks in, would you get credit for that? Like, cos you've had less time to do em in?
As a proud member of Team PoP this is shocking
You won't get extra points for it, as it's harder to go big and get enough momentum for the spins at the same time. Also the time you hold the grab is key for the execution portion of the scoring. But the difficulty of the trick is obviously very important, similar to the landing in terms of points, so you can still get a decent score with less air.
She over rotated a quarter turn (90 degrees) to land it and was deemed not to have stuck the landing. The rest was fine, it was that close, she went for more and there was a couple of tenths of a seconds control that went against her. I think the winner would still have won, but who knows when the pressure is on and a huge score is on the board to beat. Good competition. Still struggling to see how the little Japanese lady struggled through that whiplash landing.

The Swiss and the German top teams (and maybe the Italians) have a chance for the Women's Team Combined in the skiing today, but it's tough to see past Shiffrin and Johnson for the gold. If she skis to her top form, Shiffrin is way in front of the competition in slalom and Johnson just won the individual gold.

I can't stand the commentators on the skiing. They sound like they've been at the white powder - not snow by the way.

The commentators for the snowboarding: cackling and whooping away in commentary using words like 'rad', 'stoked' etc etc...I thought they were in their 20s with braids or a modern mullet - and then we see them being interviewed in their commentary booth and they're both baldy and about 50!

If you mean the big air and slopestyle ones I think they’re great - love hearing such enthusiastic commentators
