What to Watch

Men's Snowboard SuperPipe Final

The superpipe doesn't feature standout Shaun White this year, as the high-flying redhead skipped the event to focus on his Olympic training.

This event is still going to be a crowd pleaser. Iouri Podladtchikov looks primed to take the throne that White has left vacant. 

He was nearly flawless in the preliminary round: 

The 25-year-old, a native of Switzerland, posted a score of 88 in his preliminary run. That was a full eight points better than second-place Ben Ferguson. 

If the man nicknamed I-Pod can land all his tricks in the final, he isn't likely to board away with anything less than gold. He's twice won silver in this event, and he was fourth in 2010 in Vancouver. He's been steadily improving over the last couple of years, however.  

In fact, with tricks like the Yolo Flip, he has a chance to give White a run for his money at the Olympic gold.

This is an event on the rise. It will even make its Olympic debut at Sochi. That is good news for Henrik Harlaut because if there is going to be a breakout star from this discipline, it is likely to be him. 

He certainly didn't disappoint in the prelims:

Still, as impressive as his score of 95 was, it was only good enough to give him a two-point lead: 

Harlaut's run left fans wildly impressed, and most notably, a Right Nosebutter Dub 12 had spectators in awe: 

Harlaut is in a groove right now. He took gold on Saturday night in the GoPro ski big air. He posted a 93 in that event to beat Vincent Gagnier by a comfortable six points. 

The best part about all of this is, this is his last chance to shine at these games, and he will do so in an event where he posted the all-time-highest score in a prelim run. What is he going to have in store with a medal on the line? 

In the end, Harlaut could wind up only competing with himself for the gold in this event.

Still, considering how high he raised the bar with his record-setting run in the prelims, that alone is a competition worth watching.
