Agreed, I feel there is so much more to be said but it seems some people are understandably a little reluctant to share their feelings. On the positive side, the webcast was good, commentary was entertaining (if a little chaotic but that poor guy was up there for hours), the event timings were pretty solid and the boats didn't break down. Running over the line made me chuckle though.
On the flip side, there seemed to be more injuries than usual, the jump events looked scary and there was zero atmosphere from the non existent crowd. Why bid for the event if you can't guarantee spectators? Perhaps it was an exercise for the Malaysian government tourism board? I was also disappointed to see the judges get Nates gates call wrong, I mean this is the world championships!
Having said all that, whilst gutted our Fred missed out, I was mega chuffed to see the really likeable, tough and talented Joel Howley take the slalom gold. Hope he makes a good recovery, but anyone else wonder why he bindings didn't release?
