Oh come on. At least say so before the qualifying period even starts, so everyone knows they have no chance.. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

The sad part is the OC is covering the costs of flying the athletes over, all you really need is a CDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,560 Posted January 28, 2018 #128 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Do we already have any idea which athletes are going to do the combined?

I find this the by far hardest event to even guess who'll start of course we don't know the Austrian coaches' decisions yet... but my guess are: Haaser, Siebenhofer among the girls and Hirscher, Mayer and Kriechmayr among the boys for sure... then I think it's quite a lottery...probably they would make some trials when they are on the Korean courses to see who's in better shape and who's adapting him/herself better to those tracks... however, my picks are Venier and Brunner (women) and Schwarz (men) to complete the rosters... heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
