The French bloke was was really good and was robbed of silver, but the Argentinian (Gold) had a run deserving of gold.
The Pom deserved bronze but got silver over Frenchy with his last run, which had no flips, (I think), in the run, but not that it should count bcoz it was best of two runs. Pommy had two good technical 90 point runs, whereas Frenchy first run was 3, as in 1, 2, 3, points. Still the two blokes that got me out my seat running to pull my snowboard out of its brand new bag and stand on it in the lounge room pretending I was good, was the Frenchy and the Puma (ARG, the gold medalist)).

Yeah the Argy went well... I thought Martin was killing it in his second run till he stacked it again... Trying just too hard

When you have to get 94 to medal it kinda forces them into the extra stuff. Some of his tricks none of the others have in their bag, just wasn’t his day.

But seriously some of those guys are bonkers.

Gladstone girl .....well done Natalya

5 x ACL ruptures on the same leg in her career plus 2 x shoulder surgeries since Tokyo.
The woman is a warrior. Excellent reward for effort.

Yes.
Grace Brown - Women's Cycling TimeTrial
Ariane Titmus - Women's 400m Freestyle
Women's Relay - 4 x 100m Freestyle
Jessica Fox - Women's Kayak Single
Mollie O'Callaghan - Women's 200m Freestyle

They were the biggest contributors in Tokyo and Rio as well.

Martin’s first run was incredible too, did tricks no one else had done. Such a shame he crashed with only 8 seconds left. I would’ve loved to have seen his score for that run if he stayed on, but not to be for him this year.

So far I think yes

 

[Flippedy]

Stubbelty-Cook left his run a little too late this time, but still got silver. The Frenchman Marchand is on another planet at the moment lol

Jess Fox is the greatest Canoe Slalom athlete of all time
