Gut is 3 secs back in 2nd, Grenier 5 secs back in 3rd, Bassino 8 (!!) secs back in 4th.

[dcro 10,210]

You know the event is dead when even the host nation Andorra didn't enter their best.

[dcro 10,210]

6th place for  Gauer

[dcro 10,210]

skier was +20.64 off the pace after 16 seconds of the Q race.

 

Pitty he DNF'd then.

Schwarz lost the bronze because of his long hair. That's another Mironchyk Ivanova right there.

[dcro 10,210]

This should be gold for Marco or Matt.

[dcro 10,210]

Top 10 for Samuel, awesome.

[dcro 10,210]

Podium for Zrinka!

Honestly I was expecting Leona to be there too after her run.

[dcro 10,210]

Henrik 

[dcro 10,210]

Broken nose for Yule?

 

Luckily not according to the highlight reel.

[dcro 10,210]

Strolz finished 

[dcro 10,210]

Sala too... I guess they are surviving because there is someone even more useless this season.

[dcro 10,210]

How on earth is Schwarz still in the Top 15...??

[dcro 10,210]

Another DNF for Vinatzer... Who will drop out of Top 30 first, Vinatzer or Strolz?

[dcro 10,210]

Second run for Kolega. I'll take that. We are always godawful in Schladming.

 

Saying that, Samuel Kolega remains the only bright spot of our men's team. Everyone else has seen better days.

[dcro 10,210]

Not one DNF on the Streif.

[dcro 10,210]

Did they move the second run to Lake Placid?

 

Surely this can't be Europe.

Valerie Grenier wins! Fastest 2nd run too.

 

Can't remember last won women's GS?

Probably Genevieve Simard.

[dcro 10,210]

4 DNFs in a row... Gross for the win?

Outside of the usual travel issues there comes the otherwise priority for football (both NFL & college) and even NBA. North America would have to stage races in November/early December or March like it used to until the late 80s. With Lake Louise set to be dropped the NA venues are being scaled back as we speak anyway and if it wasn't for Shiffrin we wouldn't even have the Killington races IMO. Men's speed races in Beaver Creek would be the only NA round.

There is lots of potential in the NA though. Mid-week races in the Sunshine would be prime time in Europe, for instance...

[dcro 10,210]

I have never seen snow conditions as bad as today in Garmisch. That's saying a lot.

[dcro 10,210]

One wonders why don't they just hold more races in North America... This is pathetic and really just unsustainable at this point.

[dcro 10,210]

Somehow the race will go forward tomorrow as planned.

 

Temperatures haven't gone below freezing for days now. Even now in the late evening it's still +6 degrees at the top!

[dcro 10,210]

Is the world ending today then?
