I do see Holdener/Gisin as favourites, but wouldn't be at all suprised now if Ledecka takes it. today's slalom was set by the US coach and obviously he made an exception to that rule to ensure Shiffrin's chances... unfortunately for them, it didn't go how they would have liked, but still, this slalom run was a true one, even more difficult than the 1st run of the actual slalom race...

Another thing, slalom courses in the combined being set by coaches of specific athletes is just bullshit. The whole thing of coaches setting courses even at major championships is nonsense and already unfair from the beginning, but alright. phelps and Ted 2 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I heard that a lot from the Eurosport commentators. it was just hard to believe. how come such a thing happens. at first I thought maybe that's part of the host nation thing. but apparently that's not the case @phelps how come they decide who set the course ? randomly, is there a draw or something ? or whoever smiles better gets that ?

It's a random draw, with the main prize of the lottery of course being to have a free competitive advantage for the races that actually matter most (Olympics and world championships). It'd be kind of like Formula 1 needing a deciding race to see who will be champion, and so they make a draw between the teams, with the winner deciding on which track they'll race the deciding race MHSN 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

MHSN 3,305 Posted February 17, 2022 #1009 Share Posted February 17, 2022 thanks guys well you always here something new. that's one of the dumbest things ever. is it really hard for FIS officials to set the courses themselves and make it more fair ?

dcro 10,189 Posted February 17, 2022 #1010 Share Posted February 17, 2022 What a run that was from Gisin. She appeared to be floating on the snow. Crazy to think Shiffrin still has only three Olympic medals total. Despite all the expectations, time and time again it seems emulating Janica's feat from Salt Lake is next to impossible. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
