Question about the extreme sports related expression
I'm reading about Winter X games and since I am not very aware of these kind of extreme sports, I don't understand what Bertoni managed to do from the second try?
Could somebody explain?
Here's the phrase:
With the height of the Superpipe increased a start list was expected to lay down some huge tricks and they didn’t disappoint…upsetting the form book on the second of his three runs was French rider Bertoni.
Thanks for your help.

I wonder what is the best translation for "feel bubbly". The context is "A champagne tour of Amsterdam’s famous canals on a private boat? No wonder you feel bubbly". I translated it as 'energy surge' ("Неудивительно, что вы почувствуете прилив сил").

Is "NO" pronounced differently from "KNOW"?
I'm just curious if there is a difference in pronounciation between "know more" and "no more". Native Engish speakers are welcome to provide sound examples, but please, do not intentionally try to exagerate the difference. Thanks!

Why in English articles Asian people are mentioned for the 2nd and further times by their names?
I noticed that in press articles Asian people's name + surname, if mentioned more than once, is reduced to name, while European and US people's name+surname is reduced to surname. Like if you say Bill Clinton and next time call hin simply Clinton. Why the same scheem isn't applied for Asian names?
