And though it was a close call for Compatriot Alex ‘Chumpy’ Pullin who is also a two-time world champion finish sixth in the final of the men’s snowboard. There are also a lot of assumption of a brawl between Jarryd Hughes and Alex ‘Chumpy’ Pullin which was later clarified by Geoff Lipshut where he said;
“Those are personal issues they have,
he also added;
“What we have done is put a process in place where they all respect each other as athletes.”We’ve set up a process where they are happy to be on the same team here and they all get on well enough to do their sport – and that’s all we ask of them.”
The brawl speculation was witnessed when Alex Pullin lest the course without even congratulating his Compatriot Jarryd Hughes. It is still unclear what led to the personal issues between the two snowboarders, but we hope they short out their issues soon.
