Alpine Skiing 2018 - 2019 Discussion Thread

That's really sad. Goggia is always so exciting to watch and in case of top shape Vonn it's always good to have someone around who can challenge her. Usually it would also be sad because one would expect a skier like her to have a shot on the overall world cup but then again Shiffrin will probably have that one pretty much secured come January anyway.

Completely missed that a few weeks ago, but Melanie Meillard is already out for the entire season :cry:

 

Her knee injury from right before the Olympics hasn't recovered well and she has to get a new surgery (which by now maybe she had).

There’s at YOG participant that has amazing potential

Johanna Schnarf's season is already over.  Yesterday, during a training at Copper Mountain, Schnarf fell, resulting in a displaced fracture of the tibia and fibula of her left leg. 

She has already been operated, but  unfortunately her season is over. :(

From the 2020/2021 season, Solden will host a World Cup parallel Slalom races, including team event, the races will be scheduled always one week after the traditional opening of the World Cup at the end of October in the same Austrian venue.

FIS also informed that this February will be defiitely decided the future of the Alpine Combined during the February´s Council meeting, it is very probable that the event will be replaced by parallel slaloms already for the next World Championships and subsequently for the next WOG.

Well that's quite a rollercoaster read: first it's awesome to have a competition between Sölden and Levi so we don't have to wait 700 weeks for World Cup 2, but the rest...meh.

I honestly don´t see anything good in either part :p Mixed team event is meh, to have it now twice per season at world cup is double meh...but the removal of the Combined is even bigger meh...

Well I would prefer a normal race between Sölden and Levi, but anything is better than nothing in this case because I really hate that eternal wait after the first World Cup :mad:

 

Spoiler

Yeah I know I'm often campaigning for World Cups in South America or Australia and yeah I know the wait is gonna be quite a bit longer then :d

Obvious solution: remove Solden altogether (it gets cancelled half the time anyway). :p

    • When it comes to power, confidence and match-winning ability, women's cricket has produced some truly fearless batsmen over the years. These players didn't just score runs - they changed games, calmed crowds and intimidated bowlers. Based on influence, consistency and ability to dominate attacks, here is my 2026 Forum list of the top 7 most dangerous women batsmen in cricket history.   At the top, Meg Lanning stands out for her quiet aggression and leadership. She could control an innings and then suddenly explode. Behind her is Harmanpreet Kaur, known for her raw power and clutch performances, especially in big tournaments.   Ellyse Perry deserves a special mention. Her technique, fitness and ability to increase pace make her lethal in all formats. Smriti Mandhana brings purpose with grandeur - once she gets going, bowlers struggle to find answers.   From a bygone era, Mithali Raj may not have looked aggressive, but her mental strength and ability to bat for long periods make her extremely dangerous. Suzy Bats has become a nightmare for bowlers in ODIs and T20s, as she mixes timing and smart shot selection. The list also includes Deandra Dottin, whose power-hitting can change a match in just a few overs.   What connects all these stars is their fearless mentality. Each has earned the tag of Dangerous Women's Batsman by performing consistently under pressure and against the best bowlers in the world. For fans who love in-depth cricket discussions, statistics and trending topics, Cricbites is becoming a popular platform to explore women's cricket in a fresh and engaging way.

    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.

    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
    • The probability of winning a medal in the men's 500m also seems a bit off   
    • 66% chance for a medal in moguls seems low though...   Men's relay being 5th in short track, and Clarke only having a 0.5% chance at a medal also seem off   Why is ski mountaineering there, we didn't even qualify anyone
