Whilst Iouri Podladtchikov took home the gold in Sochi, he was definitely deserved of the bronze last night. His knee surgery must be slowing him down somewhat as his trademark first hit backside air wasn’t quite as high as normal and way off the mark of Taku Hiraoka’s.
This led into a front 540, back double 1260, back-to-back 1080 and a trademark alley-oop 540 nose grab. Again, he was looking off the pace as far as the top two were concerned, but knee surgery and swotting up for a degree does do that to you. Still, third place at the X Games? Can’t complain…
Hit next to watch a summary of the whole event.
