those hugs at the end of women slopestyle are the highlight of the games
i’ve seen some people in the tag wondering/asking/being confused about how is it possible that the fis officials didn’t /see/ that the suits were too big up until now. guys, IF the suits were indeed 10 cm too big of course they knew about it, they were able to see it perfectly clear and they repeatedly chose to ignore it. it was an unspoken deal that everyone knows what’s going on but no one says anything. now, if that was the case the question would be why they stopped ignoring it? why now? could it be because coaches started to make waves and complain? coaches have always complained about other teams doing sth that skirts the line of what’s allowed but maybe this year it was too much for fis. i mean, horngacher has lost his damn mind in willingen. i get where he was coming from but ordering fis officials around, telling them what to do, demanding for the entire competition to be stopped so that /everyone/ could be tested - that was going too far. this was as close as making fis look like complete fools (lol not that they need any help with that 😄 but you know what i mean). add to that other coaches making similar demands and it’s possible fis went all out, okay you wanna tell us how to do our job? you want us to properly check everyone. we will,” and they did. during the olympics. or it could be a coincidence 🤷🏻♀️ who knows.
before anyone clocks me, i want to stress once again, im not saying that the suits /were/ too big, i don’t know that. i wasn’t there, i cannot know anything for sure. all of this is just my speculation and thinking out loud ;)
