Events to Watch
Men's Snowboard Cross
The action in the womenโs snowboard cross quarterfinals, semifinals and final resulted in fierce battles and devastating crashes. The hope from most Olympics fans is more of the same madness in the menโs event.
With the warmer weather in Sochi causing the course to become slushy once againโone of the main reasons there were so many issues in the womenโs raceโthe focus on getting a great start will be at a premium.
The leaders will have the cleanest course to contend with and that advantage could be the difference between advancing to the next round and being eliminated. As seen in the womenโs events, though, leading the race early isnโt always a guarantee that a snowboarder will win.
With top stars like Italy's Omar Visintin, Team USAโs Trevor Jacob and Nate Holland and Franceโs Pierre Vaultier all battling for the gold medal, menโs snowboard cross on primetime will be fun to watch.
Women's Alpine Skiing Giant Slalom
One of the fastest events of the 2014 Winter Olympics is the womenโs Alpine skiing giant slalom event, and American stars Mikaela Shiffrin and Julia Mancuso have gold-medal ambition heading into Tuesday.
The women will have two runs to lay down their best effort and the combined time will be the deciding factor for the medals. With the temperature making the snow much harder to master, the possibility of fluctuations in time has all eyes focused on this race.
Add in other potential medalists like Sloveniaโs Tina Maze, Italyโs Nadia Fanchini and Swedenโs Jessica Lindell-Vikarby, and this will be an intense competition that fans of the sport canโt afford to miss.
