Sochi 2014: From Russia With Love

Re: Sochi 2014: From Russia With Love

Getting going with some competition related things...

Snowboarders have been on the Slopestyle course for training... So far the course is proving to be quite a challenge... From video that I have seen, the course looks massive... The takeoff ramps seem to be some of the largest I have seen in a FIS competition... I'm sure they will be recutting the takeoffs and landings before we get rolling on Thursday... Hopefully we can get started on a good note when things get going tomorrow night...

According to the schedule, looks like women's moguls final and men's downhill final Sat 1 PM EST and Sun 2 AM EST, respectively.

I'm down for this. Good way to kick off the show, at least as far as the events I'm concerned with.

Shaun White has officially withdrawn from the slopestyle competition after injuring his wrist to focus solely on the halfpipe.

Saw that... Kinda bummed, but also understand his decision... Halfpipe is his main event... He can win slopestyle if he chose to compete, but it's second fiddle for him... Kinda sucks... It would have been cool to see Shawn possibly win every event he has entered in the Olympics..

They'll let Costas cover that. :rolleyes:

Love seeing all the stories about the crappy accomodations. Apparently not up to the standards of the 17th Century villa we stayed in during the winter World Univsersiade in Trento.
