Kind of funny that she has three world cup wins, three World Championship gold medals and an Olympic gold, none of which are in any of the four "core" disciplines. Weird career.

dcro 10,182 Posted January 5, 2022 #292 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Apparently the course got slightly better, but also got visually much worse overnight due to wind bringing even more leaves. Also, the rain is expected over the day before temperature starts to drop, so.... There's that. It's a shame since tomorrow brings some snow and temperatures well below zero... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justony 444 Posted January 5, 2022 #293 Share Posted January 5, 2022 They should easily organize race on January 6th, when there is holiday, it was always on 6th, I know, Adelboden is so close, but maybe they should ski through the day (10.00 / 13.00).

dcro 10,182 Posted January 5, 2022 #294 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Unfortunately, there is a considerable chance that the race will get cancelled. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,562 Posted January 5, 2022 #295 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Still watching the women's second run, but surely this must be one of the more laughable competitions in recent alpine skiing World Cup memory? I mean, hats off to the organizers, being able to even hold the competition in conditions like this is impressive to say the least 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!

FIS wants to just give up, but the organizers are quite determined. As of right now, it looks like the men's race is a go. Curious how quickly the temperature will drop. There is a chance the later numbers in Run 1 will have much improved conditions. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justony 444 Posted January 5, 2022 #297 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I am watching right now on HRT, they are all very happy with course, regarding hard conditions, but on official live FIS app it says, 1st run is postponed. EDIT: Fog and strong wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,182 Posted January 5, 2022 #298 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Aaand postponed to 15:45. Usually it's a bad sign... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justony 444 Posted January 5, 2022 #299 Share Posted January 5, 2022 And it's gone, now Vedran Pavlek is trying to go with the race tomorrow. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prso1000 540 Posted January 5, 2022 #300 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Could be that it was the last time we see WC in Zagreb. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
