Alpine Skiing at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022

As much as I personally like the combined (esp. compared to events like team parallel GS), how can it be contested at the Olympics with ZERO world cup combined competitions this year? It's practically non-existent these days.

 

FIS wants to kill off the combined event and doesn't even host it on the World Cup. They want to promote parallel events instead. IOC still keeps combined in the programme but I won't be surprised if it's axed after 2026 and makes way for the parallel event (which might be the most unfair event ever due to clear difference between courses as evident by last year's Alpine World Champs).

In alpine combined today are my favourites Pinturault, Schwarz and Innerhofer .... But at some point with this "strong competition".... Nearly anybody could medal today .... Dont forget what happened on the hill with the mixed event....

I feel like if the FIS were just a little smarter they would push to keep the combined *and* included the parallel event.

So Schwarz and Strolz are using downhill skis from Kilde and Mayer, respectively, because they don't have a pair of their own. What kind of utter bullshit is it that two athletes in the by far largest alpine skiing team in the world don't have a single pair of skis for 50% of an event in which they are hot medal favourites?!

    • It's hard to believe it was still in this calendar year      
    • In last year, we were were happy with Brignone's wins, and today we're excite that della Mea is in the top 10... It's hard to imagine a bigger fall... And Goggia should give up on the giant slalom and focus on the speed events – Vonn isn't wasting time on the giant slalom, but is training for downhill and SG. Goggia last one finished on the podium in the giant slalom in march 2018, and she has no any chance of winning an Olympic medal at the regular competition. It's a waste of time and energy to finish 8th or 9th and risk injury. And we have to accept that without Brignone, we have no chance of winning a medal in the giant slalom in Cortina, and that's it.
    • yeah, just like Anna Trocker earlier Today   I think this is the best way to blow them    they're not ready for the world cup stage yet, but we're so bad right now that our coaches are digging deep
    • Some surprises and fun results so far at this year's Worlds. Like a few minutes ago, when  Harrysson made the 1/8 with another very good performance. Now he plays Jonny Clayton, who this afternoon made a stellar performance in a tough battle with Zonneveld. I don't see an easy match for Clayton, even though on paper he would have wished such an opponent for a 1/8 before the tournament.   Also i'm delighted that my fav Gary Anderson seems to be in good form, though at his age, he is prone to sudden bad matches at any time.
    • I will just say that I'd like to live to see a time when we have someone like Stolz- a phenomenon who can win you 3 or 4 gold medals. A guy who, you know, if he goes at 100%, no one else will beat him. That's what happened to France with Marchand in swimming in 2024.
