The next girl lands the first 1080 in women's Slopestyle, and score is behind the Brit.
The CBC guys in the booth are speechless at both...seems as if the disgraced IOC judges from early 2000's Boxing and Wrestling have landed at Slopestyle.
Canadian still to come after a dreadful opening run in the final.

I gotta admit watching the downhill this morning felt like a breath of fresh air. Just being able to watch an event where it's just all about speed, and not subjective marks.
I freaking loved watching the men's slope style to kick off the games, that was great (despite Canada underachieving a bit). And obviously the women's moguls was fun too, with the sisters finishing 1/2. But now with figure skating up today, I'm growing tired of all these judged events at the start. It's just not the same for me, I can't get into them as much as timed/racing events. I have too much of a built in mistrust of the judging process, probably stemming from the Sale/Pelletier debacle in '02.
