An unexpected runSourced
An Olympic halfpipe run without the big tricks
Representing Hungary in 2018, Elizabeth Swaney completed women’s halfpipe runs without the tricks spectators expected. She had qualified under the selection system then in use, but her performance prompted debate about those criteria. Eligibility and audience expectations did not match.
A place in the competition did not settle what people expected to see.
