  1. Seeing Ayumu flying to the sky high always gets me goose bumps.and His childfood hero sir Shoun class act!!

  2. Personally, I liked Scotty's run the best.
    That dude is fackn GNARLED! 🤩

    It shouldn't add anything to the scores, but I find it's especially impressive given that he's an Aussie. Not a ton of snow down under…

  3. Correct the spelling of his name in the title. It's not Ayuma, it's Ayumu. Darn disrespectful for an Olympic official channel to get a gold medalist's name wrong.

  4. Since Shawn white have goten 100 points twice. How is this not 100? it even have a first ever.

  5. his name is AYUMU. a quick google search would let you know that.

  6. a true legend and a true pioneer. US had long dominated halfpipe for a long time and Ayumu changed the game !!!! what an incredible athlete and a heck of a competitor!! HISTORY was made in 2022 Beijing Olympics!

  7. Hirano has a front side 1620. It is also said that the referee suppressed the triple cork score for when he performed this super trick.
