Ginwoo ripped Eaton in half and they gave him a 9 club like who are these judges

[@NeyTrick]

I still don't understand that

[@marcoantoniosolis7843]

87 on that kid’s run? Ginwoo got robbed broo! It was a flawless run with tricks no one else did so what you mean?

[@kevinlorenz6178]

Double flip, varial double flip, front blunt kickflip took a minute, treflip he landed at a stand still, then he jumped off his board and turned around real goofy. I think they docked for style big time.

[@xueyang9998]

i guess maybe landing successfully since he is a kid of much lower gravity center. If adult, landing inevitably failed. I am just amateur.

[@minibilli]

I disagree with people saying that Ribeiro and Ginwoo got robbed. I mean, Ribeiro had 4 360 flip tricks in his run (360 flip 50-50, 360 flip noseblunt, 360 flip front board and a 360 flip on flat) and 2 more in the best trick section (another 360 noseblunt and again with a bigspin out). I know these are mindblowing tricks, but this is a very limited trick pool that, as a viewer, kind of gets on my nerves. And the same argument could be made with Ginwoo and front bluntslides. Aurelian deserves the win imo.

[@DavidLuther]

💯

[@RasmusGLarsson]

word

[@LATL.]

Agree with that. Even tough gustavo is insanely consistant (reminds me of nyjah nowdays), he always does the same trick variations over and over again. He did at least 4 tre flip variations before that one trick. The is a repetition rule. And i support that cause i also almostcant see one single 360 flip noseblunt or a tailsilde to noseslide combo from kelvin once again. So they docked him a bit. Same thing happened to aurelien giraud last year with his hardflip lateflip.

[@Ezekiel_wickham]

I miss Nyjah. All these skaters are amazing. But it's just not as fun to watch when you've seen them do literally every trick they've done in all the other competitions. Nyjah brought a new banger to every competition.

[@benharris4218]

So true, Nyjahs has a deeper bag of tricks and varies his tricks more. Feels a bit same-all -the-time with some of these guys.

[@crispi_6173]

wooooow, they really robbed Ginwoo, 87 on a perfect second run with a handful of tricks that vets would never try.

[@PelleKuipers]

YES! I was thinking 95 at the least. Double flips, flip in and out of a grind, great line, only 540 in the competition. How can this be scored so low? More variety, best use of the park, clean lands. What did he need to do to get a 90?!

[@JesseHughesFartStain69]

Ya he got screwed. These Olympic judges are paid off to let certain people win.

[@nastynoles7946]

1.He literally has one of the wackest styles. 2. Double varial flips are so ugly. 3. The helmet doesn't help with my first statement. He needs to grow into his body, not worry about being a contest kid. Go learn from your older peers. 4. Who dressed this kid? 😂

[@cdlocalz7542]

first time seeing ginwoo wow hes going to the best in the world

[@otogaal6098]

Richard Tury should be at least 4th maybe 3rd

[@slapdisgaem6601]

Nah just like Ginwoo, Richard had a lot of repitition with his heelflip tricks. The problem is that he also kept hitting the same obstacles and didn't go fast and big enough. He is a solid skater though.

[@terrencebemburyyoutube]

At least we know they’re STOKED to be there

[@random__joe]

French people go figure

[@DerrickRountree]

Why don't switch tricks score higher than they do for Women? I see that as the next level of progress for Women's skateboarding. Almost none of them do them. But why do a switch trick if you can get a better score doing a backside smith down a rail, which for most of them easier?

[@jurgenkalowski1442]

I am glad they don't give switch tricks much more credit. I don't care if it is harder, it looks the same as regular, well, most of the time it looks worse then regular

Im all for the repetition rule being more volatile. Idk how many years i can watch the exact same tricks from a top skater win competitions. Especially if you did a variation of your best trick in your run..

[@timkamutzki2796]

The way the judges award their points, I'm almost on the verge of not following any more contests. To rate Gustavo Ribeiro's treflip noseblunt bigspin off perfectly executed at 90 is more than ridiculous. and that is just one prime example of many.

[@RKLS90]

It really is insane to see the progression of girls skating skyrocket in the last 3 years or so. Personally I think it’s because there’s $ behind girls skating so they can devote all of their time to it which really wasn’t the case if u go back a few years. If u go back 10 years there were maybe a handful of girl skaters that could support themselves on just skating. The rest of the girls that were pro likely had to work an actual job & obviously can’t put as much time into skating. I’m sure the answer is deeper than what I said but whatever it is it’s cool to see the skill level of girls move forward at the pace it is now

[@f393n6]

nicely said!

[@Arlibibi]

I don't think so. They're kids who don't have to work. Last Olympics Games average podium age might be around 14 for girls. I think it's just that there is way more girls skating than before.

I know judges werer pretty harsh (i also booed at the scores from gustavo and ginwoo) but we should know that there is a repetition rule if you do the same trick variation over and over again just with additions. Gustavo did tre flip noseblunt variations 5 times during the finals. So they docked him a bit. Also Ginwoo. Same thing happened to Aurelien G. last year with his insanely gnarly nbd hardflip lateflip. Dont get me wrong, im not completely defending the judges, i also found the judging pretty harsh. Ps. Jagger Eaton was overscored....
