Alpine Skiing at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022

Already have our first crash.  Probably won't be the last on that snow

Schwaiger not going anywhere soon.  
 

Fortunately Thomas Bach (Gold Fencing 1976) is on hand to take charge & give a speech if there’s some TV dead air.

This turn where he crashed is extreme. It is very steep from here. And fast. Extremely dangerous.

30sec turn and jump and turn is another thing - tactics is very important there.

Looks like he injured his arm not from the very first fall itself but from crashing into the nets. Are those nets safe enough? At this steep moment after the turn, they should have done better.

Innerhofer skis out.  2 of first 4 skiers DNF

Yeah those are low quality fences, not the same quality as the stuff we see on the World Cup circuit..

Hemetsberger with an early error. Guess Kriechmayr's relatively safe run might profit him in the end.

I wonder how Goggia will fare on this slope

[Monzanator 4,503]

Matthias Mayer takes the lead! This could be good enough for a medal.

Mayer get's a medal, can't see three people beating that.
