In Sochi is was one of the disciplines that for the first time it is overlooking the Olympic program. But for the snowboard slopestyle - which, among other things'' is was one of the races that has received the most praise in'' arc of the two Olympic weeks - that Russia could also have been the first and last appearance at Five Rings.
"The rate of injuries that has taken place in Sochi is too high for an Olympic sport" to say what - Source: Associated Press - is Lars Engebretsen was responsible'' s activities science at the Department of Medical and Scientific International Olympic Committee. It would therefore be the'' excessive danger to have alarmed the leaders of the IOC, which they put under the lens also investigating the slopestyle skiing: "The rate of injury in these two sports" says Engebretsen "was far greater than in other sports." Words that are rooted in the Norwegian Torstein Horgmo injury'', which was a training run a broken collarbone and is was forced to abandon the race, but also in very bad fall which had been the victim Sarka Pancochova, fortunately resolved only with great fear after the chilling images of the Czech ground and unconscious. Not to mention Yuki Tsubota, fall into ruin in the slopestyle skiing race. A sport "problematic" to use again the words of the official IOC: "The slopestyle is exciting, but it's just become - just now anyway - maybe a little too exciting''" concluded Engebretsen, who has too many allusions invited to review some aspects of the discipline, on pain of exclusion from the Olympic program.

Now the doubts raised by the IOC - which, for example, did not take into account an even greater rate of accidents occurred in the'' half pipe ski - throwing shadows on presence in Pyeongchang 2018.
In'' Waiting to see if the clouds are swept away or are intended to thicken even more all'' horizon, is already well defined position of the athletes. So In fact, said Sage Kotsenburg, the'' gold medal in snowboarding slopestyle in Sochi own, entrusting his thoughts on Facebook: "Wow, this is absurd. Danger is inherent in every sport that you practice, and the slopestyle is and only one of them. I'd be really disappointed if it were removed from the Games after that brevetempo has become among the most viewed on his debut in Sochi. "
