I was thinking that the halfpipe had turned much more into the superpipe, but I had no idea how much the dimensions have changed since Nagano in 1998. Double the height and 1/3 longer is quite a difference. Supposedly the wider flat bottom is easier on the knees, but I think this is just an attempt to send Shaun White & Co. that much higher. In other news, America's ho-hum Olympics rolls on after yesterday without medals in the halfpipe or 1000m speed skating. And to make matters worse, we're losing to our hat.
And this is just fun to look at.
