Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Team USA started strong, with Lillis completing the back double full-full-full for a score of 117.19. Curran nailed the back full-double full-full and received a score of 113.72. Kuhn picked up a 94.44.
This one felt recognizable early, as the Americans dominated from the start.
The result wasn’t surprising by the end, as Team USA took home its second consecutive gold medal in the event.
It’s a pattern we see time and time again: Team USA comes out strong, and the rest of the world can’t keep up.
