For as long as I can remember, halfpipe has been my favorite Olympic sport. Seeing the snowboarders specifically fly into the air has left me awestruck year after year. Plus, growing up watching Shaun White and Chloe Kim ascend their respective ranks was inspiring. However, now, as the Winter Olympics air on the 2026 TV schedule, there’s a different snowboarder leading the pack that you need to pay attention to. And to make matters better, there’s a great documentary about him that you can stream with a Netflix subscription.
Now, if you are watching the Olympics from the United States with a Peacock subscription, odds are, your focus is on the USA. Trust me, I have the tunnel vision. However, in the case of the halfpipe this year, the frontrunner is an Australian named Scotty James.
