After many more set ups, including Simari Birkner conveniently climbing the course in Run 1 of Race 4 (are they reading this thread??), :JAM Alexander has qualified. Probably will be the weakest skier seen at the Olympics since :THA Vanessa Mae.

 

 

Hubertus failed after a mistake in the last run. Well, he would have probably failed to Q anyway, as his undoing was the DSQ from yesterday. :p

 

There were no weakest skiers at the Olympics in the last maybe 20 years as the :PRK girls which were in PyeongChang :p

If anyone is interested, this is how the FIS released quotas in 2010: https://web.archive.org/web/20110604013119/http://www.fis-ski.com/data/document/olympic-winter-games-2010-vancouver-quota-list-18th-jan-2010.pdf

 

There was no "live updates" iirc.

FIS have approved the highly expected cross-border downhills under the Matterhorn for next seasons WC :banana: 2 weekends of 2x DH, first the men, then the women, in the last week of October and first of November, after the opener in Soelden. This essentially means that the regular alpine season from now on will fully start at the end of October.

I want to know how much money they make from endorsements? The official FIS prize money is probably pocket change :p

Apparently Shiffrin made about three million dollars in sponsorship in 2021, so almost half a million dollars in prize money isn't pocked change for her.

 

Shiffrin isn't very well known in :USA though, alpine skiing is extremely niche outside of regions that have a big ski industry. It's a sport that's relegated to a second rate streaming service the vast majority of the time, so outside of the Olympics alpine skiers are almost unknown to 99% of the country.

Yeah, I'm well aware alpine skiing is a niche sport in USA, they seem to focus on some of these freestyle skiers instead. I bet they are throwing money at Chloe Kim left, right and center even though half-pipe has literally zero genuine competition IMO. Talk about excelling at a low-hanging fruit.

American sport in general is very strange in that lots of people do alpine, cross-country, mountain biking, canoeing etc etc without being in the least interested in the professional version of those sports.  Even in athletics this year we saw that USATF has to include high school races in the middle of international meets in order to get a stadium  audience

    • Your most ever at a Summer Olympics was 14 golds, 20 would be a big increase even with the new sports  I’d say out of them, only costal rowing has a chance of gold, and flag football a medal if they can qualify.    Wouldn’t breaking the 14 from 1984 be a good for Italy? I’d say so. They can’t all convert after all, and you’ve been hovering in the 8-13 range for a while (although Italy has gotten better the past two)   For Canada at least, 11+ golds would be amazing, anything else would be a bonus. We won 9 in Tokyo which is our highest total ever. 
    • Personally, I'm really looking forward to Japan's performance in the World Cup. From the current situation, Japan has a very distinctive playing style. They have strong tactical ideas whether facing European teams or South American teams. However, Japan has never won a knockout match in the World Cup. As someone who has been following Asian football for a long time, I really admire Japanese football.
    • Italy didn't qualify again.    Well, now all that's left is for Germany to be eliminated again in the group stage and we'll guarantee another 4 years of "Brazil, the only five-time champion in history, nobody is bigger than Brazil, respect our history and blah blah" that we use on the internet.
    • Failing to qualify for the World Cup once can be put down to bad luck or other reasons, but missing out three times in a row must be due to an all-round gap. I feel sorry for Italy.
    • Italians can only blame themselves. Serie A has been run by foreigners more than any other Top 5 domestic league. There are zero global stars not named Donnarumma. This is the weakest Italian crop of players I can remember and it's not even close.   As for Poland, our defense did a terrible job. Unlike the much-maligned Michniewicz & Probierz who often parked the bus, Urban completely run out of BS luck since errors proved too numerous & too costly.
    • Okay, but defeats to Macedonia and Bosnia are unacceptable. Above all, let Italians start playing in Italian clubs... Look at Milan or Como...  Another think is the old and ugly stadiums - Türkiye or Poland currently have much better infrastructure than we do.
    • Problem is, that the current funding system of Italian sports - since 2018- relies on football paying the lion's share through taxes (around 70% of the sum that is redistributed). So the rest is strong until it can draw money from football, which in turn makes football weaker and less able to generate money and then who knows. 
    • I prefer our current strong sport at all and weak football than a lucky promotion and defeat at the World Cup, as in 2010 or 2014. Sinner, Brignone, or Antonelli are worth 100 times more than losers like Bastoni.
    • if tonight's humiliation means 20+ gold and 50+ total medals in 2 years time in LA, I'll take it 1 billion times    and I'd never change the emotions of the 2 Olympic weeks in Milan (and the other sites) with just another average soccer world cup 
    • Strong teams advance from the groups, especially since there are now 48 teams playing at the World Cup, not 32. It's Italy's fault that they lost 0-3 and 1-4 to Norway.
