Considering what I've seen of Slopestyle before the Olympics, it was just a terrible watching experience overall. Judging all over the place, zero consistency, and the clear ridiculousness of having to wait 2-3 minutes for scores for certain riders where you clearly know there is some huge debate going on. The 'head judging' system is absurdity.
Skiathlon was super exciting at the sprint, the bronze medal came down to two people going over the line at almost the exact same time. I can't imagine being that close to a medal and not winning.
Looks like our only remaining shot at a medal today is the Team Figure Skating Event where we should get the silver. I think the US will move up in points but nowhere near enough to challenge.
I feel weird being on Sochi time!
