I would say it highly depends on the traditions of some disciplines in certain countries. Our national sport TV boradcated Aerials live last season. Czech Reuplic has it in the prime-time of its national sports channel as far as I know. Yes Valenta won his gold more then 20 years ago but it does not matter. -

Alpine snowboard is by far the most shown discipline on Eurosport/Discovery in Europe. If it's not clashing with a bunch of other things, they are showing the WC starts live. Snowboard cross would be the next in line and they are showing starts, but they are fewer and if it's head to head with alpine, alpine will get the advantage. Halfpipe is occasionally shown and it's usually only some of the NA rounds, when it's the evening here and all other winter sports stuff is over. And they are not showing snooker, golf, cycling etc. Big Air / Slopestyle is practically non-existent, never shown, unless it's some weird BA in November in the middle of nothing. And it's the same picture in the Freestyle skiing. Ski cross is the most shown and probably has more races televised, than all other disciplines combined. Halfpipe is so-so from the rest, with BA & Slopestyle non-existent again. Moguls & Aerials are dead, at least i can't remember Eurosport showing their WC events on TV. This just shows the complete division between Europe and North America. I don't think there is a single European country which prefers airing (or training) the technical disciplines than the racing ones. Which is the complete opposite than what it has been in NA. -

Team Event I have come up with a quick team competition to allow me time to organise it in the short amount of time I have between now and the Grand Final. I will come up with some names for each team in the coming day (hopefully ). Nations will be divided into 10 teams of 3 and 1 team of 4, making 11 teams in total. For the team of 4, one of those nations will sit on the bench for each of the 4 sessions meaning only the scores of the other 3 nations of that team will count towards the team competition for that particular session. (Canada will sit on the bench in session 1, Denmark will sit on the bench in session 2, China in session 3 and Mexico in session 4). Teams were assigned based on voting position to help distribute when each team has a voting member as evenly as possible between each session. The team event will be an elimination-based event where the scores of the team members will be accumulated for that session or quarter and the teams with the lowest combined score will be eliminated and play no further part. Scores will be reset to zero after each quarter but in the event of a tie-break, the team with the highest ranking in the previous session will win the tie-breaker. In the event of a tie in the first round, all teams involved in the tie will be advanced to the next round. See details below about how many teams will be eliminated after each quarter 1st Quarter: 11 teams Top 9 teams advance to next round 2nd Quarter: 9 teams Top 7 teams advance to next round 3rd Quarter: 7 teams Top 5 teams advance to Final 4th Quarter: 5 teams No elimination Q1 Pts Q2 Pts Q3 Pts Q4 Pts 1 Team 1 0 0 0 0 2 Team 2 0 0 0 0 3 Team 3 0 0 0 0 4 Team 4 0 0 0 0 5 Team 5 0 0 0 0 6 Team 6 0 0 0 0 7 Team 7 0 0 0 0 8 Team 8 0 0 0 0 9 Team 9 0 0 0 0 10 Team 10 0 0 0 0 11 Team 11 0 0 0 0 -
OK, won't spoil the outcome yet. The most interesting relay in who knows how long and it was after lunch on a working day... It's idiotic that the Germans don't have the weekday starts in the evening, when people are OFF WORK. If i was advertising i'd be fuming it's not at least at 18-19:00...

One of the best-ever Women's Relays this afternoon in Ruhpolding. Unfortunately stuck away on a midweek afternoon so not many people will have seen it. Must watch though. No spoilers yet! -
The IOC is very TV ratings and ticket sale focused when it comes to sports to add / drop, seemingly. Which is probably not the best metric to use, but it does explain why alpine snowboarding is in more trouble than something like aerials or ski half-pipe (which should probably be closer to the chopping block if we go by competitive depth). -
