There could be a treble of a different kind come Tuesday’s final as it is anticipated that riders in the men’s event will attempt the Triple Cork for the first time ever. Both Shaun White and Ayumu Hirano have dropped serious hints about the trick, with the American alluding to it in his Road to Sochi documentary and the young Japanese pretender pulling off the trick into an air bag.

The Triple has become a staple of Slopestyle competitions the world over but has always been seen as step too far in the pipe. Sochi’s setup will allow for some serious air and given the incredible strong line-up riders should be pushed to the limit in pursuit of gold.
