Does anyone know who the two guys are announcing on the live broadcast from the NBC sports app? One is British and the other sounds American. They also did the snowboard stuff live too.

Oyster a run was good but 95 was total BS. Should have been ~85.

thebusiness19not completing a rail feature should be deemed as an incomplete run and be judged no higher than 65.

The announcers on CBC are legit. I think it’s Mike Atkinson who is by far the most knowledgeable commentator CBC has ever had.

Only rationale for Bratens score was the technicality of the rails and his grabs.

Not saying he deserved a 95, but that blunt to blunt sw14 definitely deserves respect.

It’s fucking heart wrenching that all of these kids worked so hard for 4 years (and longer obv) to compete in something with such inconsistent judging. I would really like to see the judging credentials and criteria, and would be very interested to see a country by country breakdown of scores because there’s obviously some incompetence. If the FIS and IOC aren’t going to take this seriously there needs to be a re-evaluation of our sports place in these games for the sake of our athletes.

I didn’t see qualifiers but was scoring an issue there too? Did Harlaut and Mcheahren (sp?) just not put down good enough runs?

Should've been the same judges as X Games, considering that's the next biggest event. And for those who complained about X Games judging, at least it was consistent and it was nowhere near this level of incompetence.

I mean in reality, do any of the judged sports belong in the olympics? I thought the idea was to measure the fastest, strongest, farthest, etc. None of these judged sports are objective.

See Teal's run should have won i think.
