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....
