MHSN 3,221 Posted February 20, 2022 #1101 Share Posted February 20, 2022 US team once again will put Shiffrin on the red course. she did great against Bassino and Duerr but still lost narrowly. (maybe she wins this time) she deserves a medal today but it seems whoever makes decision for team USA can't understand simple logic. maestro and hckošice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,595 Posted February 20, 2022 #1102 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Yeah, well, even Polish ES who usually notices nothing noticed how the blue course is clearly faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,557 Posted February 20, 2022 #1103 Share Posted February 20, 2022 That didn't work great, although putting Shiffrin on red does seem like the US's best move in this case. Edit: never mind, forgot about the added times thingy 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!

Monzanator 3,595 Posted February 20, 2022 #1104 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Norway takes bronze. Austria have Liensberger & Brennsteinter on blue course in the final so they should win gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,557 Posted February 20, 2022 #1106 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Curious to see if Strolz can go for a double 3-out-of-3: three golds in three events, but also today losing all three races yet getting Olympic gold NearPup 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 3,221 Posted February 20, 2022 #1107 Share Posted February 20, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangehair43 177 Posted February 20, 2022 #1108 Share Posted February 20, 2022 It just seems farcical to have a course setting which is not at all what people would call fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the ties were decided by faster winning time instead of the gap. Gaps were big enough to get the tie but the total time never was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiffrin isn't the 's best women's parallel skier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
