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.

I agree..the slopestyle judging was so weird. When the last Canadian Parrot finished he thought for sure he was on the podium. Maybe even gold. Better than McMorris for sure. But he got 85 and 5th. To be anywhere between 94 and 85 in a sport is a ridiculously subjective range.
Even in bull riding if a guy finishes a ride and thinks he won. He'll win or maybe 2nd. But he wont be 5th.
