Winter Olympics

Are we all about to become experts in SlopeStyle Snowboard? Kiwi Carlos Garcia Knight leads the field after the first of three runs in the final. Its not a cumulative total to decide the event, the best single score takes it so plenty of chances for the other competitors to nail a good run. Channel 56 on Sky Sport if anyone is interested in watching

Bugger down to 2nd now
Another big run still a chance to medal

Is it wrong to want all the others to have gentle falls?

Not all I hope they all crash
CGK down to 3rd

Given our history with Olympics and Com games my bet is on the kiwi finishing 4th..

He was looking good in the second round but something small went wrong after the first big jump and he just free wheeled to the end. Fingers crossed for a trouble free run next time, oh and all the others crashing out of course.

Round three not far away from starting. Some of the big names are going to have to pull off big runs to live up to their reputations in their final chance at a medal. Naturally there are big risks they will have to take and with that there are big chances they might take a tumble. Still CGK will probably have to do likewise as his score is under serious pressure and vulnerable to challengers at the moment.

Looks like CGK will have to win his way back into the medals on his last run... yep... bugger.

Here we go..

...and there he goes..

Fuck... the start of someone who had lost concentration.

King Carlos thank you very much...

From NZ Herald's live feed:

"On this course you have to be perfect... the last run I was really nervous up top," he said, saying it just didn't go his way.

I've come up with a change that can make the Winter Olympics more enthralling from a spectator's perspective. I'd change the biathlon to shoot at snowboarders as they appear over the parapet on the half-pipe.

Whenever i watch the biathlon i instantly think of a James Bond movie.
