Alpine Skiing at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022


Recommended Posts

Extremely unlucky draw for the german team. Sweden is probably a top 5 team, can't believe that they are only seeded 10th. I think Germany could have beaten every team except Switzerland/Austria.

 

Quarterfinals:

Austria vs. Slovenia/Canada

France/Czech Republic vs. Norway/Poland

Italy/Russia vs. Slovakia/USA

Germany/Sweden vs. Switzerland/China

 

Semifinals should be:

Austria vs. France/Norway

Italys vs. Switzerland

 

Can't believe what an easy draw Austria has. Germany probably would have made the final with a draw like that. The austrians should be ashamed if they don't win at least silver.

 

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

Sweden doesn‘t have Sara Hector, so probably not that strong.

Wait, Great Britain has rejected its place in the mixed team event? I'm super shocked - we originally accepted it before the games, and are normally strong in parallel events (Ryding has a podium in parallel, Tilley & Guest normally make it to the last 16). We got to the quarterfinals last time in 2018, beating the USA and nearly beating Norway.

 

I don't think any of our four skiers are injured? Really disappointing, I'd hoped they could pull off a few surprises.

it's not a draw - Nations Cup standing determined the table.

Always thought that was a terrible way to determine the bracket in this event.

That's a huge shame. :GBR legitimately was very much a medal contender in this event in 2018.

Damn, I thought maybe Canada could luck its way to a medal given that the best skiers sometimes don't compete, but very unlikely we beat Austria...

Feeling optimistic that we can medal in this as long as Slokar or Kranjec put up the best time. They should win their duels easily enough, while Robnik and Hrobat will probably lose theirs. So it comes down to the fastest time.

I know that Alex Tilley was skiing on an ankle she broke in October, so I’m guessing that is it.  As you say, it was a legit medal chance for us with so many big names already back home.

Why are so many top athletes skipping it. People don’t tend to skip relays and such like. 

The last technique event for the women was last Wednesday and many doesn‘t want to stay another 10 days in Beijing.

    • Ooooooh the group of Canada , they play in Toronto then Vancouver ...look at the distance   
    • now the shooting sport takes a little Christmas break and the new season resumes in January with the Asian Championships for the Shotgun specialists ( Doha, Jan. 11th through 22nd)   the World Cup will be back in late March, beginning in  Tangiers (March 25th through April 3rd, Shotgun specialists only)   the Rifle and Pistol specialists will start their new season with the European 10m Championships in  Yerevan (Feb. 27th through March 5th) and the 1st World Cup stage for them will be in  Granada in April (5th through 13th)   300m, 25m and 50m European Champs will be in  Osijek (May 30th through June 21st), meanwhile the Shotgun European Champs will be held in  Athens from Sept. 27th through Oct. 13th
    • Rare thing not to see Hancock winning gold. 
    • USA will.play in California then Seattle then California ...why hell this long distance , teams should stay in 1 place , this is tiring even for spectators 
    • so, the 2025 season is officially over, after the World Cup Finals have been completed with the Shotgun events, where (once again!!!) a new format for the final stage of each event has been experimented for the first time (before it becomes a regular feature in the next season)   the new format enlarge the starting field in each event's final stage to 8 shooters and dramatically shortens the number of target shots to decide the placings   the only characteristic remaining is the progressive eliminations principle   now, as written above, 8 shooters make the final, where after only 12 targets the eliminations start: by then, the last 2 shooters must leave the competition (7th and 8th ranked)   after 12 more targets (24 in total), 2 more shooters have to leave the final (5th and 6th ranked)   then, the crazy carousel starts: every 4 targets we have a new elimination  so, after 28 targets, the 4th ranked shooter is done; after 32 targets the bronze medallist is known and after only 36 targets (provided there's no need for a shoot-off), compared to the previous 60, the gold and silver medallists are crowned   I guess the tiktok people with the attention span of a chinchilla have won once again
