Risso Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Well Snowboard Cross is ridiculous.The knockout format basically means that the best boarder in the form of his or her life can be instantly knocked out by some moron who falls over into them. And that can happen at any point in any race.The BMX cross in the summer games was way better, the preliminary stages were a points format over several races, so even if you had an unlucky fall, you could make up for it by being better over the distance. Snowboard Cross is just pot luck. I think that's what was so brilliant about it tbh. And it mostly seemed to be the favourites who took the top positions in any case. All of the snowboarding has been ace to watch tbh, much better than skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2014 Yeah I think the snowboard cross is entertaining for that reason. But from the perspective of the athletes, I can see where TP14 is coming from. Imagine training for 4 years for that moment, only to have your olympics ended after 10 seconds because someone crashed into you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Snowboard Cross FTW! Most entertaining thing i've seen in a long time. RE: TP14's comments - that's the harsh reality of life though isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarpie Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Wouldn't Canada not winning ice hockey gold be like America not winning baseball gold? Not really, there are 5 or 6 pretty even teams; Canada, USA, Finland, Sweden, Russia and Czech who all can beat each other even though on paper Canada and USA has best teams. SILVER AND GOLD FOR FINLAND TODAY! WHOOOOOOOOO! PERKELE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Don't get me wrong, the Snowboard cross was super entertaining. It's just got a very significant degree of luck. There is a bit of that with other events in regards to snow/ice temperature and wind etc, but nowhere near the level that there is in Snowboard Cross.

But I bet they ain't gonna send you flowers in the first place. Well done, anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 USA and Czech tied so far. As long as Czech doesn't make silly errors, they can actually win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarpie Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 USA and Czech tied so far. As long as Czech doesn't make silly errors, they can actually win. USA looks unbeatable in these olympics, I think they're gonna win gold. Very efficient on scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
