Well, in men's technical events for example there is a same pattern going on and on if the conditions are not the best. Favourites lead after run 1, but then there is some lucky guy who was 28th or something after first run, He has a perfect conditions in run 2 and suddenly he finishes on podium on something. Yet the commentators keep saying "surprise, surprise". :p

 

Oh, yeah, and how many globes Hirscher won in a row? I stopped counting few years ago. :lol:

 

only 5 consecutive and 6 small Globe (3 SL + 3 GS) :teacher:

You mean, how many globes has he stolen! Two by my count, though they could be more! ;)

You mean, how many times were others just not good enough? Five times when talking about the big globes if I'm not mistaken ;)

You mean, how many times he vultured a globe only after an opponents injury when he was out-classed all season prior to that. Two out of the five if i'm not mistaken. :whistle:

He could indeed just say "wait, you are injured? Ok then, I will not compete while you are injured." I'm sure the Neureuther's and Svindal's of this world would definitely do that and sit out competitions when their rivals are injured yes_new.gif

 

That's not "vulturing", that's just bad luck for the others. There's quite a huge difference between the two things. Unless Hirscher went to them and hit them with an iron bar to injure them or something, but I doubt that happened.
