We certainly didn’t call today’s medalists (particularly one of them) ahead of time.
Daniel Bacher deserves a shoutout for his unique rail run, despite not making finals.
There was plenty of creativity on show again, as well as some insane skiing.
Colby Stevenson put a run down too but was a little low on speed on the pagoda feature.
His nosebutter 270 onto the cannon was still a thing of beauty though.
Then Alex Hall happened to the Olympics.
Matej crashed early and tried what looked like a cork 180 attempt over the roller for shits and giggles.
Judges weighed the bobble more heavily though and he didn’t improve.
Nick Goepper was the first to make a huge improvement, going for the ultra-tech approach all throughout.
Andri put it down clean at the second time of asking too.
He won the Olympic social media battle though.
Alex Hall bobbled, leaving the proverbial door open for the remaining athletes.
Goepper and Tjader failed to improve, but Birk Ruud put his first run of the day down.
Andri was last to drop, on the outside looking in.
