The first and obvious question here - how will the downhill course look like? Lake Louise or Bad Kleinkirchheim?

 

Don't tell me they'll have a huge turn so late in the run? (at 3:00 in the video). That could send some people flying...

That turn looks less dangerous to me than some of the parts afterwards, where it feels like it's too tight for a high-speed race (combined with some turns). Curious though.

I wonder if the FIS has quietly changed the qualification system?

[intoronto 6,887]

Looks like the FIS has indeed changed the qualification system.

 

The Alpine simulation now lists and  as qualified. So maybe this leaves hope for  in CC skiing for example?

That would be a little odd. They already eased the criteria there - although just for women I think - and he (sadly) wasn't anywhere close to getting a quota at the world champs, plus is nowhere near eligible in terms of FIS points. They'd have to nearly eliminate most of the criteria.

Goutt secured his qualification for giant slalom for the first time following a couple of monstrous PBs at the almighty Timor-Leste National Championships in Kolašin, Montenegro.

Big PBs all around, with even Maeder dipping under 160 pts once, and Cyprus seemingly finally securing a female athlete.

 

If I didn't know any better, I'd accuse them of collusion...

 

Coming up later today in Kolašin... The National Championships.
