Snowboard slopestyle judging faces criticism at Milan Winter Games

nos.nl (Dutch)

Snowboard slopestyle judging at the Milan Winter Games faced severe criticism, with NBC commentator Todd Richards calling it the "worst judging I've ever seen." The controversy erupted after the women's final, where Kokomo Murase and Zoi Sadowski-Synnott's runs, featuring more complex jumps, were not scored higher than Mari Fukada's. This has sparked calls for a younger, more transparent judging panel, as current judges have been involved for many years.
