Both the men’s and the women’s slopestyle qualifiers have attracted near-capacity crowds. Not everyone is there watching right from the very first run, but in both cases by the time the finals were underway, pretty much every seat was filled and stuff was starting to get rowdy.

Probably helped by the fact that in Russia, it’s perfectly acceptable to drink beer for breakfast…

There are a decent number of foreign fans who’ve braved the ordeal that is applying for a Russian visa too. Including these guys from Team YOU-ESS-AYY (or as one witty commenter put it, Bruce Springsteen’s embarrassing extended family)…

And several people repping the UK.

It is definitely noticeable however that the crowds at the Olympics are not your normal snowboarding fans. I mean what’s this dude’s connection with snowboarding?

Or this pair?

Or this old dear?

Still, it’s cool they’re all there watching.
