Great that he won a medal, though the new scoring system is so different... seems like how many jumps you attempt (to a maximum of eight) is more important than how many you land. None of the 2nd through 6th place guys were really that impressive, and even with Buttle it didn't seem to matter much that he fell on one jump and put his hand down on the other. I guess it encourages them to go for the maximum difficulty of jumps, though it's underwhelming to see so many of them fall.
