The Wall Street Journal’s Hannah Karp lightly discusses halfpipe judging to see just what will happen if Shaun White or any other snowboarders pull out some tricks in the Vancouver Olympics that the judges have never seen before.
Sweden’s Ola Sundequist, the Olympic Head Judge, chimes in with some color, but doesn’t really get into how the judging is really going to work. And that’s probably a good thing, because snowboard halfpipe judging never really has stood up that well to rigorous analysis of any kind.
