Ebunk_theskunkWell I mean he threw down on the first run, so he played it smart the second run. As opposed to Swaney “giving it her all” which I don’t think really even applies to her because she doesn’t seem to have to pushed herself/progressed in the past years at all from what I have seen. And Torin was throwing down with the best at 15. (Less than half Swaneys current age) So they’re really not comparable. I mean why would you even try lol
wameronWhile Torin clearly went faster I think the judges weren't taking into account the difficulty of Liz's ungrabbed alley-oop 1 (the air awareness to do that cleanly is nuts) and her 3 with the shuffle at the end was something you wouldn't see in the best Bunch edit. Based on what I saw the men doing in the second heat I don't understand why there was any hate on Liz, she's just trying to bring real style to the robotic style of women's pipe.
But I really just have to say I'm upset I didn't see a handplant or butter 7/9 in the men's throwaways
Dash69watching swaney physically hurt me. bugs me how someone as talented as Gus can miss qualifications but she can just walk right in
ThundercatIts because there are plenty of mens pipe skiers better than gus but there isn't a lot of women pipe skiers better than swaney.
sledgang69People keep on calling her the new Eddie the Eagle which is honestly some bullshit cause at least Eddie tried to improve, shes just contempt with going down back and forth. This is the god damn olympics not a make a wish foundation event. She's probably the girl every guy avoids in the olympic village which gives me some solace
saskskierEven if you never land a jump, it takes some serious stones to jump off the 70m or even 40m ski jumps, especially if you expect to crash. I don't think anyone in the history of terrible Olympic athletes will ever compare to Eddie the Eagle.
freeskibum82she has a graduate degree from harvard and knew the system. i mean yea she isnt great but still managed to ski down the pipe in an olympic run. ill never be able to say i did that.
