Ladies halfpipe finals this arvo 1 aussie involved who apparently everyone loves now because she was singing during her qualifying runs

then mens halfpipe which we will actually get to see all of because the Australian is a good medal chance in what might be Shaun Whites last olympics assuming he doesn't qualify for skateboarding at the 2020 summer games

The young American pulls off an awesome run and is in first and looking hard to beat. Great run by the Chinese girl beforehand also.

Let's hope Emily at least tries to put something big down this time.

This is awkward. Channel 7 going with the ad music whilst waiting for the score, and we wait, and wait, music still pumping, commentator getting anxious. Fun times!

A faceplant is not the way you would want to end your run. Hope she's okay.

She's done well to make the final given she's ranked 16th in the world.

That said, that run also exemplifies how ridiculous 7's push notification about her potentially winning a medal was. That was the first time she'd ever completed a 900 trick in competition (and it wasn't all that clean), and the girl that is going to win the gold is capable of completing back to back 1080 tricks

She was amazing. A class above.

Alpine skiing is finally underway, at long last. Love this stuff. And we've had a crash already. Let's hope it's on 7 soon, but you never know with these guys.
