Who do you think will be picked?

Podium Standings atm;

1. David**
2. Alex**
3. Aaron**
4. Torin*
5. Gus*

Points standings atm are;

1. David ** 1st and 1st
2. Alex ** 1st and 2nd
3. Torin* 1st
4. Aaron** 2nd and 3rd
5. Gus* 2nd

Qualification results for today's finals at Mammoth are

1. Gus
2. Aaron
3. Torin
4. Wise
5. Alex

If the weather is bad and these results are what's used, then the podium standings go to

1. Aaron*** 2nd,2nd,3rd
2. David** 1st, 1st
3. Alex** 1st, 2nd
4. Gus** 1st, 2nd
5. Torin** 1st, 3rd

Which means that Torin will be left out..... I'm not sure what the points breakdown would be but it may have Torin above Gus.

So the question is do you put podium results over points average.....

Who do you think should go?

I think all five deserve to go honestly. It's going to be a tough decision on that 4th spot.

no chance in hell is torin not going. If I had to leave one out it would be Gus, dont think he has been doing terribly well in pipe latley and he has slope and shit anyway.

It's a tough choice between Torin and Gus

Last Olympics Gus qualified for Slope and Pipe but they gave away his spot for pipe to Torin who had missed all the qualifications due to injury.

This time if the results stay the same as qualies you will have the same choice with Gus ahead in podium results.

People say let Torin go because Gus has slope but he has had to do twice the amount of qualification events and has a run that includes back to back 1440s that could win in Korea.

If Gus wins on Friday, I think he deserves to go.
