Just watched the Mark McMorris documentary about his journey the past year. I didn't know his story, so it's pretty incredible that he is in the Olympics and a podium favorite. Really worth a watch:

Chloé Dufour-Lapointe was the lone Canadian who failed to automatically move on. The Sochi silver medallist scored 69.53 to finish 13th and will need to finish in the top 10 of the second qualifying session in order to make the final.

The downhill has been postponed to tomorrow due to high winds

[mac_82]

Downhill is postponed to another date. Decision will be for the next few days.

Alpine Combined DH training on Sunday night is also postponed.

[SebC]

Do I just not understand it or is there not really a reward for stealing one in the first end or a curling match?

[Freeway]

Slope style final coming up!

[CofR]

The Men’s Slopestyle Final will be on CBC as well as Sportsnet 1

[KelVarnsen]

The reward is scoring point(s) and your opponent not scoring

[Johnny Makarov]

They get 3 runs for the final and they take the highest score? talk about not having to be clutch.

I'm assuming they rerank after each run?

Does it matter? all these guys are just bailing out after a little mistake. This is really bad tv. Pretty boring actually.

[FireGilbert]

Haha they still need to be clutch. I like the 3 runs with the top score counting as it encourages risk taking. Go Canada!

[Johnny Makarov]

hahaha. this is terrible.

[FireGilbert]

Finally some good runs.

[Johnny Makarov]

To make it more interesting they should award medals for the top 3 scores, even if it's the same person. Triple medalist in one event if you go for it!

[MRCboicgy]

Nerves. Falling is contagious

[CofR]

McMorris is 3rd after the first run

[Beninho]

McMorris got docked hard on that first run for taking it easy on the rails, definitely deserved higher than a 75 tho
