In response to "agreed with the IM. Frogman was blistering fast, knees tight, serviceable air... he had one little slip before the first jump, and then ripped. -- nm" by TFox

I know that, but I think it's kind of BS that he's judged based on his practice runs, not on his actual run. - TFox Feb 15, 09:54 9
- ? he missed his jump in the actual run. -- nm - Andie Feb 15, 09:58
- ? Who said he's judged on his practice run? - Reagen Feb 15, 09:57 7
  - But only because that was the move he did in practice. He did a textbook back flip during his run. - TFox Feb 15, 09:59 6

      - but, i believe a basic flip is a really really low scoring jump. - Andie Feb 15, 10:02 2
        
        Yep, that's what I saw in the slo-mo replay (and the CTV commentator commented as well, that he missed the grab) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 10:05 1
        
        And the CTV commentator, who I believe is a former skier, said it as though there *were* rules about what he was supposed to do -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 10:06
    - no, he didn't. the jump he did in the run was he was supposed to grab his skis. a basic flip is way too easy for an olympic jump -- nm - Andie Feb 15, 10:01
    - (i'm off to meetings. I'll explain more later if people still aren't following.) -- nm - TFox Feb 15, 10:00
