Schmid will need a truly heroic run

Liensberger was faster than Duerr on the blue course. Almost impossible for Germany to win this.

USA strategy

looks like the only team who reazlied how to deal with this is Germany . the rest simply threw their skiers into the competition.

 

there is one simply strategy in a sitution like this. put your best male and best female skiers on the blue course to achieve the best possible time

This is what USA did, too. Shiffrin isn't the 's best women's parallel skier.

That was an excellent attempt by Schmid! But just shy.

 

And Strolz does it, three golds in three events, and today gold after losing every single one of his races

Austria wins in lieu of the total time rule. You could literally DNF both runs on the red course and win all the ties based on two wins from the blue course. A complete joke. USA putting Shiffrin on the red course in QF, SF & small final was clearly a big mistake.

So a DNF doesn't factor in at all in this event when there's a tie?

I highly doubt that. she was the only one on the red course getting very close to win a race

 

let me show you guys some statstics  , if we don't count CHN vs SUI . we had only and only one win from the red course (beside DNF wins) and that solitary win belongs to Shiffrin against Slovakia. I somehow think she was the best skier today

No, it's fastest men's and women's.

 

This event is more or less a two person show when courses are this uneven.
