Thoughts on olympic run format?

3 runs for big air qualifier and finals, 2 for slope qualifier and 3 for finals. I think we’ll be seeing more conservative runs because of this, nothing like the xgames.









Also looks like events are gonna be really long. 45 minutes between each BA run? And imagine competing in slopestyle with your second qualifying run being and whole hour after your first.

2 qualifying and 3 finals runs seems pretty standard.

This seems like a standard world cup format so nothing too special here. The problem with the qualis is that there is just too many riders making the quali rounds last an hour. A few world cups this year had 40+ skiers and it took way too long. Sorry for the skiers, just chilling that long vetween runs must be pretty bad

Hell yeah, looks like it gives the athletes enough time to run to the shack between runs
