And the American does what they should all be doing

Don't even try anything, just get a clean run in and profit

I feel like they could at least be doing this in yoga pants.

So are they all afraid to get wrecked because of the wind? The first girl who went literally did nothing and didn’t finish. She pulled up on the final jump

Everyone seems completely shook. Surely it’s the wind?

It just seems unreal. Presumably, they have practiced and mapped out what they want to do in this course so many times, and for the most part, they have been splatting. I'm sure this is quite frustrating for everyone involved in this.

Edit: OH COME ON, this is like the 4th straight snowboarder a row that did a unclean run.

Edit: They get two runs and the best score of the two, counts, right????

I think they might even get 3 runs, but not 100%. but yes only best score counts, nothing cumulative

yes two runs, best run counts. At this point any clean run will be a contender for a medal.

They typically have 3 but due to the wind they only have 2 runs

Apparently.

Usually they'd get 3, but since they cancelled qualifiers it's only 2 (because there are more riders). Also means we get to see all the weaker ones.

ah ok, I mean I only turned this on prolly 30 min ago, but 0 people have had a clean run and its purely cause they arent going fast enough to make the jumps.

Women slopestyle is probably the worst thing I've ever witnessed, they're way too slow to hit anything

The best slopers haven't gone yet, right? So far they're all sucking until now. Oh lol, there was only one left, and she was the only one not to suck

At least one literally stopped before the ramp and went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ because of what she saw "the flags" doing. I *assume* the wind has more of an effect on these dainty little princesses in the air, too.
