Strolz gets the win  Not as iconic as Marc Berthod's win here in 2007, but still amongst the most surprising in the last decade+. Now this is a "problem" for Austrian federation, since they kicked him out of the national team.  And by Austrian rules, whoever gets a WC win, gets a place at the Olympics. They have some decisions on their hands now 

At the moment, Austria only has 9 quota places for men's Alpine skiing (11 being the maximum). Pretty hard qualification system when a nation like AUT is not able to gain the full possible quota here. Even Germany has 6 places (men), but 7 athletes that meet the internal qualification criteria.

 

I also doubt that there will be much reallocation places this year. Other than for prior Games most nations should have more athletes than quota places. However, in Women's Alpine Germany will most likely decline three of its current seven(!) places if nothing sensational happens in the last races.

 

First reallocation places for Men's Alpine at the moment: AUT, NOR, GER, AUT, GER, USA, ITA, FRA.

 

First reallocation places for Women's Alpine at the moment: FRA, FRA, NOR, ITA, CRO, ITA, JPN, FRA.

It is indeed bizarre how Austria is not having a full team. 9 places is really tight. If we do the count, they'd want 4 speedsters and 5 technicals. Secure places for me have Mayer, Kriechmayr and Striedinger in speed, and Feller, Schwarz, Brennsteiner in tech. Michael Matt should have been there as well, but his abysmal season so far has put a question mark for me. Beyond that, it could swing to different people and last minute decisions.

Yeah, these six names seem to be a sure call. Beside that, Strolz should also be safe after today's race. Thinking of the Combined event, also Schwarz should get a place.

 

However, AUT should get at least one additional place after reallocation. One or two (from German perspective, hopefully three at least :D) places will surely be reallocated.
