Yeah I had that open on my laptop but Ten was playing a replay of the men’s instead of this live….

Stupid move IMO.

coverage here has been pretty good so far! They have a channel showing it all the time and the commentators are good. One guy does all the snowboard comps on tv and the other guy is an instructor at the Swedish snowboard high school.

Sven Thorgren is getting some hype over here as a medal hope and he did pretty well today. Sweden doesn’t have any women competing so usual practice is to then adopt a norwegian to support instead.

Scotty J’s run was super, super conservative, not sure what was going on there! The 2nd men’s heat was much higher quality than his, as well.
