I am actually more puzzled over Czech Republic apparently being eligible for the "Exotic Nations Cup". Never heard of that guy Also nice to see two Goutt-Goncalves on the slopes now, the new skiing dinasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted January 12, 2022 #33 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Okay, the "Exotic Nations Cup" is indeed Olympic qualification turned into pizza delivery routine. Exotic athletes who have relatively good FIS points are only slightly faster than , who will probably both qualify now. DNS'd so I guess that story is over. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,540 Posted January 12, 2022 #34 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hubertus getting DSQ'ed in a racefixing race, dude. NearPup and dcro 2 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!

dcro 10,179 Posted January 12, 2022 #35 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Czech skier was beating Maeder by 13 seconds in Montenegto last month. Now Maeder is staying within 0.26 of the Czech in one run. With this rate of improvement, is Ghana winning a medal next month? heywoodu 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted January 12, 2022 #37 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Ghana qualified. Jamaica has some work to do. Hubertus scored 115 pts in Race 2! And considering how the winner got 35 points or so, there is a lot of room left for Hubertus and the Jamaican guy... It just depends whether they will go guns blazing tomorrow for the most ridiculous points... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted January 13, 2022 #39 Share Posted January 13, 2022 The favorites are even slower today. All of them. Looks like they realized there was more room in the bag. Even with all this though, the Jamaican guy is still 5 seconds off the pace. EDIT: Hubertus needs 57 average between two races today. Not very likely to happen... unless they let him win both races or something (for example, one of the top guys pretends to miss a gate and climbs). Alexander needs 131 average which is doable but needs to be a little faster. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted January 13, 2022 #40 Share Posted January 13, 2022 After many more set ups, including Simari Birkner conveniently climbing the course in Run 1 of Race 4 (are they reading this thread??), Alexander has qualified. Probably will be the weakest skier seen at the Olympics since 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. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
