Apparently, this is what she broke on both sides...the scaphoid bone? I didn't even know there were 10+ single tiny bones in that small part of the hand alone :hairpull:

According to Swiss media, she wanted to jump on some piece of equipment, but fell backwards.

Wow, that post ended a lot less bad than I expected it when reading the first words :yikes: 

 

Good thing Solden is weeks before the season 'really' kicks off, plenty of time to recover...hopefully she'll be fit on time to enter the season full-force at least before February!

Ya, Alpine Skiing has the strangest "opening" event of almost any sport. It feels almost more like a per-season meet than a real world cup race xD

 

Probably the least bad time to pick up an injury.

Apparently the FIS is thinking of having world championships in all non-Olympic years, having A and B races for the downhill at the world cup level (limiting the A race to 24 skiers) and getting rid of both the combined and the Super-G.

Nothing new then.

 

FIS is nuts. The only federation that is consistently planning to kill off their fully recognized Olympic events. Not to replace them, to kill them. :crazy:

Especially dumb considering the Super-G is consistently one of the best event.

It doesn't matter Super G is exciting. The schedule has favored the technical skiers for years. Super G is back to pariah status? They need to get rid of this to put more of these parallel city events IMO. I feel like I might not watch alpine skiing in 5-10 years time if the schedule will be 50% parallel slaloms and three downhills per season. Not to mention parallel events where one course is clearly better than the other and you can guess the winner before the start already.

I feel like these stories come back every year and usually don't actually happen, so I'm still holding out hope :p

It takes a lot of effort to break a bone that small. Apparently, it was unlucky.

    • And  Gaudet eliminates  Prommeger immediately after! 
    • Pink takes down the ever consistent  Lee by 0.03 
    • Big Air WC Beijing | Beijing, China   Women Gold-  Tess Ledeux (168.25) Silver-  Sarah Hoefflin (163.00) Bronze-  Flora Tabanelli (159.50)   Men’s podium according to FIS, because it’s not the actual podium   Men Gold-  Leo Landroe (183.00) Silver-  Miro Tabanelli (182.25) Bronze-  Dylan Deschamps (181.00)   … not sure how Deschamps is on the podium, when Harrington has a 183.00 combined score? He had the highest single run score out of the two as well, so he should’ve been the winner but instead he finishes 4th. I’m so confused…    A great day for the Tabanelli siblings, with both of them on the podium!   Full Results
    • 91.75 + 92.25 is 183.00, is it not??  Harrington should be tied for the lead alongside  Frostad, and not 4th?  WTF, I’m so confused… 
    • Really exciting men’s competition 
    • Another WC podium for  Flora Tabanelli 
    • I’ll start first;   Obviously,  @brunamoura in cross country skiing if she qualifies  (no pressure)    Curling:  Team Hasselborg and Team Edin,  Kaldvee/Lill, and to a lesser extent  Team Fujisawa and  Team Schwaller Ice Hockey:  Sweden men’s team,  Arturs Silovs/Teddy Blueger, whichever Canucks are on  United States’ men’s team, and  Finland’s men’s team if Lankinen can keep up his good play (Even though he’s probably going to get traded from the Canucks after this season, he prefers being on a team where he can get more starts than more money. Still I have a soft spot for him) Alpine Skiing:  Marco Odermatt,  Aleksandr Aamodt Kilde Freestyle Skiing:  Jakara Anthony,  Birk Ruud,  Sina Sigenthaler,  Andri Ragettli Snowboarding:  Leon Ulbricht,  Marcus Kleveland,  Anna Gasser Speed Skating:  Jutta Leerdam,  Jordan Stolz Luge:  Thomas Steu/Wolfgang Kindl,  Tobias Wendl/Tobias Arlt   From a Canadian perspective, I’m rooting for our men’s hockey team above all. Then, our curling teams, especially Team Homan if she wins Olympic Trials. Then Max Parrot, Mikael Kingsbury, Eliot Grondin, William Dandjinou, our women’s hockey team, and our ski cross squad. But really I’ll be rooting for all of our athletes. 
    • Decided to start a thread on this early, and get some discussion early    When I mean athletes, I mean athletes from other countries mainly… but ones that represent your country work too
