The two snowboarders start on identical parallel courses, featuring a large number of sharp turns, and try to get to the finish first.
Moscow will host the World Cup event in parallel slalom for the fourth time (and the second time officially). Sixteen of the best male and female World Cup athletes, both in slalom as well as in overall standings, will come to Moscow.
The first parallel slalom alpine ski competitions were held in Moscow on January 2, 2009 and attracted a great deal of interest. On race day, at least 30,000 viewers visited the site in Sparrow Hills in front of Moscow State University where the giant ramp was erected. The design of the ramp itself, about 60 meters tall, 200 meters long, almost 20 meters wide, and brightly lit from all sides, made for a particularly festive atmosphere.
The two time World Champ (2009, 2010) becomes the Olympic Champ, scoring a 15.966, and winning by .166 points.
Did the coach remember to tighten the apparatus? Apparently not — but that didn’t prevent Sam Mikulak from the 4th highest score at 15.65.
