The judging in the womenβs snowboarding slopestyle has me screaming. How is NZ in 4th?
Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir are amazing commentators. They're not afraid of silence, they explain things beautifully, they can be genuinely funny and moving, and they don't make it all about themselves. Terry Gannon also works beautifully with them.
