Winter Olympics, Milan 2026

Not that I have a clue but the one that is now leading didn't seem like a 94 out of a 100. And isn't she the superstar of the Winter Olympics?

4m top height, and some advanced tricks by the sounds of it. Atkin went for more, and reached to far. Hope she nails the last run.

They love saying amplitude a lot

It's one of those BS buzzwords that a subculture makes up.

'Putting it down' is the other one they use a lot.

I thought these commentators were about 20 odd years of age...they're about 50 odd!

The oldest 'stoked' swingers in town.

Brave girl that yank.

 

[Rita_Poon]

I think that means a guaranteed bronze?

Brave girl that yank.

What's the difference with the lady with her leg rebuilt in a cage with seven external screws utilised to piece the shattered bones back together?

That's bronze for the Chinese girl.

That was a Hollywood inspired stunt.

Eileen Gu is head and shoulders above the rest.

That was a Hollywood inspired stunt.

Well, I've no idea what she has planned for a finale. I'm glad I'm not insuring her...

keep em coming...

 

[Rita_Poon]

I think that means a guaranteed bronze?

at least*

Big final run coming here, hope she can stick it. All eyes on, the last word...

 

[Rita_Poon]

5m & a 900 to finish,

 

[Rita_Poon]

"the director has given us anything but in order here!" haha

Bronze for the Malaysian-US rider.
Silver for the Chinese rider
Gold for the US-Chinese rider.

Bronze, moved up but a half point off silver. I didn't think silver touched the heights Atkin did but I can't tell you much about the spins, stances, grabs and landings. A medal is a medal. Fair play.
