other from TOP5?

Biles should be in there, Serena Williams as well, probably Ledecky and i am not sure about the fifth (maybe Johaug/Hassan).

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

So happy for Gloria Kotnik, after all troubles, she came back only in December. She was among first on the reallocation list, nobody believed, she could still compete, so now she can bring home a medal and a mascot to his one year old son.

 

And, let's not forget, well done Tim, for keeping alive Slovenian medal tradition in Men's Parralel.

The head judge of the men’s slopestyle event confirmed that none of the judges say Parrot’s missed grab. Apparently they weren’t given a good angle on that feature.

 

It’s being heavily implied the judges themselves think they got the results wrong.

 

Additional note: the judges only got one camera angle for each feature, which wasn’t necessarily consistent from run to run, and could only request a replay from a different angle for one feature per run. No wonder the judging was wonky.

I agree although it wasn't Su that got robbed I believe it was Mark McMorris that got robbed. His run was way and above more technical than both Parrot and Su. So theoretically it should've been McMorris, Su and Parrot in that order. But either all Canada winning both gold and bronze will remain the status quo so I suppose in Canada's point of view it wouldn't make a difference unless of course you're McMorris.

I obviously don't mind the result (I think Parrot should have won in 2018 so I'm not going to quibble with the judges "accidentally" giving it to him in 2022) but I want this controversy to bother the FIS enough for them to change how the judging process works. This is three Olympics in a row now where the judging in slopestyle has been wonky.

    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
