Did I hear correctly that, even though she had already won the gold based on a previous run, she executed her FINAL run so well that her point total actually went up? Winning the gold by an even larger margin?
I think I heard that on the radio this morning.
Go USA
Go World
Peace,

mens halfpipe was insane
I always wonder if the judges seeing a crash or several in a row they end up giving a slightly higher score than if they saw several people nail it in a row

Scores in the final of the half pipe are generally higher than qualifying as the good athletes add more complex tricks to their runs.
Bloody insane...i agree!!!

I get that. just seemed some of the scores were slightly higher than I thought they would be and then a few seemed lower than I would have guessed and the lower ones mostly seem to come after guys were nailing it back to back

Who know? It turns out I could not guess those scores any more accurately than I can guess why a foul was called in basketball (or ofr that matter who the foul is against). I wrote above... it seemed to me the score for one run from the boarder from Japans was lower than it should be... abut idk.
I guess that is why Shaun White stomps his tricks so convincingly, so there will be no doubts...although it seems some boarders still complain [nationalpost.com]

The Sicilian
Only hours after winning Gold in the halfpipe, Shaun White was interrogated by NBC's Today Show hosts about a sexual harassment lawsuit brought against him.
"The allegations were first brought to light in a 2016 civil lawsuit when Lena Zawaideh, the drummer in White’s band, Bad Things, accused him of sexually harassing her and sending her explicit and graphic images. White denied the harassment allegations but admitted to sending the explicit texts. The two sides reached an agreement in May 2017." New York Post.
I knew nothing about it and wish I didn't have to hear it from these clowns. People are trying to enjoy a moment and these people need to ruin a great competition with this closed matter. Now it's all over the media news as they try to denigrate another male.

Im old and conservative and don't understand why there are X-Games sports in The Olympics. And Short Track must be the most stupid sport they have come up with.
Were I a corrupt IOC-mogul I would restore The Olympics to a classic and smaller format with less disciplines and medals.
It would be cheaper too and put a hold on the megalomania and corruption and furthermore increase the value of a medal.
