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.

    • has 2 wins already  Not bad for complete minnows!
    • 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
