Good. Glad he got the gold. Would've been cool for Shaun to win bronze but still impressive for a 35 year old

I don't care what country the athlete is from when they come out and do something special like that I have to cheer for them.
Probably wouldn’t get enough speed to do 2. The first hit is usually your biggest air time. But he also did it so casually on all 3 runs so he might’ve been able to.
How tall is Hiranu. He looks like he is 5 feet tall compared to the other guys. That was a good competition. Shout out to the flying tomato for getting everyone interested in the sport to begin with.
Hope Mikaela has a good finish. Even if she doesn't medal a complete run I'm sure would feel great.
The speedometer on the skiing is weak. They should have an entire weather station and live course conditions with it.
Well Schiffren is going to give it a go today in Super-G. Brave athlete props to her for the grit.
Justice served! Hirano’s last two runs were basically the same, but one gets a 91 and the other a 96. Would love to see the judges reasoning behind that?
I think they knew they royally F’ed up that first score.

The conspiracy theorist in me says the US judge wanted Shaun to have a shot and once he was out that judge was willing to go higher but who knows.
A silver medal at age 15, a silver at age 19, a gold at age 23. Guy is incredible
Agree. The other two of the Big 3 (Kim and Chen) came through, Shiffrin still has a shot.
I ain't going to hold a governments actions against athletes
I was like yep we cyclone fans know how that feels when playing Kansas at the phog, but his 3rd run was just killer too to take gold.
There we go Schiffren got a full run under her belt. Good to see her get the finish!
Unless both parties participate in a 'state sponsored doping program'.
