I don't think Snowboard Half-pipe should be an Olympic event and this is basically due to one reason - it's the only judged sport in all the Olympics in which the contender makes it up as they go along. Gymastics, figure skating, synchronized swimming, diving, ice dancing... in all these sports the competitors submit their programs and then are judged on how well they perform them. In ice skating you always here the announcer say... "and here comes that triple toe loop." In Snowboard Half-pipe there's none of that, they only comment after the fact. It just comes across to me as a real lazy way to compete.
