Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2021 - 2022

Noel can probably only beat himself at the moment, but that happens to him far too often. Currently, only Vinatzer would be able to beat him in terms of time, but he also had many mistakes today.
I'm especially happy for Jakobssen, second podium in a row. Pinturault will probably also be quite happy to have gone to Madonna after all

Sadly Jelinkova is really out of shape following her injury.

 

Will the Dutch NOC revoke her selection, because you know, they can? @heywoodu

Just saw this now, sorry, but.....she's not on the NOC's list of qualified athletes so far

Then again, neither is Kimberley Bos (skeleton), who is absolutely certainly qualified, so I wonder how much it means.

Mikaela Shiffrin COVID POSITIVE!

Before the Summer Olympics the NOCNSF website also did not mention several qualified athletes. I mailed them about it, but got a very vague answer.

Maryna Gasienica-Daniel also tested positive (no sympthoms) and will miss Lienz.

They are the lucky ones, provided they get their immunity before Beijing.

 

There will be loads of athletes withdrawing shortly before/after flying to the Olympics.

On the other hand, does having immunity mean you're not going to test positive or you're not likely to get sick? I thought it's mostly the latter, in which case getting it now basically does nothing in terms of avoiding a positive test if you need to get tested anyway.

Well, the odds of testing positive (carrying the virus) should be lower, hence why in some places no self quarantine is needed after a possible exposure if you are vaccinated, or have recovered recently (which appears to be the more desirable option at the moment in terms of protection).
