Australia’s own Valentino Guseli is through to the Snowboard Big Air final on Sunday, 8 February at 5.30am on the 9Network, 9Now and Stan Sport.
Guseli’s journey to the final comes after a dramatic start to the Australian campaign. Initially an alternate, Guseli received a late call-up to compete in Big Air following the withdrawal of Canadian veteran Mark McMorris. Guseli seized the opportunity and delivered a clutch performance to secure his spot in the medal round.
At just 20 years old, Guseli is known for his ability to dominate in all three park and pipe disciplines, Big Air, Slopestyle and Halfpipe, being the first snowboarder to ever podium in all of them in a single season. Plus, he holds the world record for the highest air out of a halfpipe.

From the Winter Olympics they cut to a reporter at the Sydney opera house talking to their camera operator and not knowing they were on camera. Seems like it was meant to go to the studio? Now it’s an ad break
Surprisingly, the replay of the Opening Ceremony was already scheduled for 1-5pm today (a four-hour slot), The live ceremony this morning went close to the 4 hour mark. Either ads have to get cut, or the Highlights Show that precedes it gets shortened to allow ads for the replay?
