Looks like it's mostly Canadians falling. 😭

#Slopestyle

I'm always disappointed when there's a really cool feature in the #slopestyle course and nobody uses it. This one has a little mini cannon rail at the very top and I haven't seen anyone hit it.

Why do #BigAir athletes wear “baggy” jackets and salopettes, but #SlopeStyle wear more streamlined clothing? And some have long, flowing hair/ponytails - surely this reduces aerodynamics? (Not a sports watcher, so pardon the innocence of the question.. but this is the #WinterOlympics)

Notizie Buzz!
Is it just me, or is this #Olympics #slopestyle course in the Dolomites kinda dull? Or maybe it's the conditions, that the course was designed for softer snow than they have, so they're speed-checking for almost half the distance between his. Or maybe just these skiers are taking it too easy because it's (just) qualifying. I think it's some of the first one, some of the second, and probably not so much the third because they're still going really big and would risk overshooting the rails or landing in the flat if they were going faster. But maybe I'm just not in the mood for it today.

#WinterOlympics #AAPI

#EileenGu from #SF skiing for #China not the #USA qualified in 2nd place in the Women's #Slopestyle earlier today after falling in the 1st of her 2 qualifying runs. Eileen won the Silver Medal in this event in 2022.

There is a lot of mystery surrounding Gu's birth & citizenship.

Her father has never been identified by her or her mother & has only been identified as an "American" & #Harvard grad but given her physical appearance her father was probably white. So, she's most likely #Happa. Nothing wrong with that but it's curious why the identity of Gu's father has never been revealed or discussed.

Extraordinarily, while Gu was born, raised & primarily lives in the US but she was granted permanent residency in China in order to allow her to compete for China in the Olympics & other events. A special rule was passed in China in 2020 that allowed this to be done. Why & how this was achieved also has not been revealed or discussed. 🤷
