News Flash Team Event will be held tomorrow at 9:00 local Assuming the conditions allow it, of course :/ Glad they are trying at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,193 Posted February 19, 2022 #1043 Share Posted February 19, 2022 It's debatable whether this event deserves a place at the Olympics. IMO, it definitely does not deserve to be scheduled for the final, primetime weekend. That one must belong to slalom. rafalgorka and FireRun 2 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They we wouldn’t have seen the Slalom here at these Olympics and that would be really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team event getting scheduled as the final event both here and in Pyeongchang is too anticlimactic. rafalgorka 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonPhi 247 Posted February 19, 2022 #1046 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Wind will not be that better Tommorrow, but it is the best way to start as early as possible in the morning. At 12am local time wind up to 12m/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's surely done first becaus USA/NBC TV needs some figure skating to fill up the first two nights of broadcasts before the Opening Ceremony.

Vektor 3,196 Posted February 19, 2022 #1048 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I think having the least prestigious event last makes a lot of sense for this sport because... well, you saw what happened today and what might happen tomorrow. We either have the team event scheduled for the last weekend, or we shouldn't have any alpine skiing for the last two days. It's too dangerous, you always need a couple of days for a potential delay because the Games has to end on Day 16, no matter what. maestro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprising since with Ryding, Guest and Major there was a small chance for an upset. But maybe someone tested positive. Nope it was decided days ago for some reason. I don’t get why.

But then again, slalom has often offered plenty of drama on the final weekend. Sometimes the final day itself. It never got cancelled. Weather fears should not be taken into account years in advance. Meanwhile, since the women's tech events got held last week, several of the top skiers did not even bother to stay in Beijing to ski for their teams (Hector, Vlhova, Dubovska). It's a joke. Unworthy of the Olympic program when even the athletes are not bothering. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
