Can’t wait for more family interviews now..

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Over the last couple of days I've figured out how to fully use the official website's schedule and results links. Its not as bad as it appeared on the first few days and is similar to the Tokyo set up. You can easily check what event is in progress and get progress rankings. But its less clunky on a computer than a mobile phone.

Lol what a run by Belle

 

[Drummond]

That was awesome! Wow what a comeback.

 

[lion4life]

That’s some clutch riding right there.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

and then

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Defending champion is out not that there’s any form in this thing

 

[danielnajdek]

That girl cracked a tanty and stormed off

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Well done Belle. Makes the finals and with only 4 gotta a be a big chance to medal.

 

[Whiskers]

Not sure how she avoided crashing but this is a fun event to watch but far more fun with 6 riders.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

1/4 final

Can’t agree 6 was a joke too much crash car derby style. 4 is perfect

The ABC's preview of Belle from the article with the preview of top 8 Oz medal chances from last week.

Belle Brockhoff — Snowboard cross​

This will be Belle Brockhoff's third Olympics, overtaking her uncle, alpine skier Peter Brockhoff, who competed in 1960 and 1964.

The 29-year-old has two podiums on the World Cup circuit this season at Cervinia and Montafon, and is yet to finish lower than sixth, placing her third overall.

Having finished 11th in PyeongChang in 2018, just two months after surgery to repair her ACL, you wouldn't bet against Brockhoff mounting a podium challenge in Beijing.

Major rivals: British boarder Charlotte Banks leads the World Cup standings, while reigning Olympic champion Michela Moioli of Italy will not give up her crown quietly.

When will she be competing? The competition is scheduled for February 9.

Final 4 are

Don’t get me wrong, it’s the right decision to avoid unnecessary injury but carnage is fun to watch.
Like short Track or BMX

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Never recovered from a bad start

 

[myblueroan]

Anti climatic.

 

[danielnajdek]

Awful start

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Think BMX is going to 4 as well

 

[LukeParkerno1]

The showboating American has to win too

 

[Back One Out]

Belle Brockoff tried to Bradbury her way to a medal in the Snowboard Cross final, but it didn't pay off


1st....2nd....3rd.........................4th <--

 

[Drummond]

That was so sad seeing her start like that.

Her sister is a stunner also. Just saying.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why do we need to have so many family interviews

Ch7 do realise most don’t care about what mummy and daddy of the contestants say right

 

[danielnajdek]

She got off to a flyer out the gate but for some reason lost all the speed.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Fair effort by Valentino in his 2nd run after stuffing up his first one and qualifies for the final on Friday in 5th place not far behind Shaun White who registered 86.25







Scott James had 2 great runs, first run was 1st placed and then 2nd placed.

Ch7 only want your eyeballs, not your feelings
