As soon as his first run was complete, it was scarily obvious no one was beating the tomato, I mean, animal. So instead of expanding on that, Kazuhiro Kokubo’s japan Mctwist was the highlight of the Olympics and Scotty Lago took home a motherfucking medal! NBC blows, but we won with the set up pictured. Full story coming soon but for now, the results, complete with sweet mug shots:

Here’s what’s official so far. The top 6 who get to bypass the semis and go straight to the finals (Shaun White, Ryo Aono, Louie Vito, I-pod, Kazuhiro Kokubo and Peetu Piiroinen) are going to make it really difficult for anyone else to land on the podium. Consistency and trick wise in qualifiers, they were all far and away from the rest of the field. But it’s not over yet (and we’re definitely not counting out Scotty!) Semis start at 5:15 PST.

    He really did call it the double double with extra tomato. I think Todd Richards is the real winner here.

  2. tom b on February 18th, 2010 at 12:12 am:

    im suprised vito took gold over white……..

  3. Harry on February 18th, 2010 at 12:49 am:

    Kazu’s mctwists were easily the best trick in the event

  4. shredface on February 18th, 2010 at 1:54 am:

    howd u watch it online? i tried to find it but couldn’t. lame.

  5. Hater on February 18th, 2010 at 2:33 am:

    is tom b retarded?

  6. vermonster on February 18th, 2010 at 3:03 am:

    Kazuhiro Kokubo’s japan mctwists were HUGE and so f*&^in’ stylee - blew me away. I appreciate the technical difficulty of spinning tens and twelves, but I’d rather see something that big and sweet and laid out any day of the week. so sick.

  7. vermonster on February 18th, 2010 at 3:09 am:

    here’s kazu doin’ it japan style on the youtubes.

    Kazuhiro Kokubo’s is BEAST!

  9. sarah on February 18th, 2010 at 1:49 pm:

    kazu easily coulda placed if he didnt beef it on his last hit.

  10. Jimbo on February 28th, 2010 at 9:08 am:

    Seriously, fuck the Olympics for not recognizing how technically dificult it is to throw a huge McTwist like that and even grab japan, let alone tweak it out as far as Kazu and hold it almost all the way back to the deck.

    Anyone else think it was ironic that he was grabbing Japan?
