Alpine Skiing 2018 - 2019 Discussion Thread

[hckošice 14,825]

An absolute mass hysteria and madness started in Slovakia after Petra Vlhová announced that her desire to compete this weekend in Jasna during the European Cup GS and Slalom races has been fullfiled and she will start in both races. Thousands and thousands of peoples "attacked" the organizing committee with requests to buy or rerserve tickets...the OC had to answer everyone patiently that this is a freaking European Cup and the entry is free

 

One thing is sure, the attendance will be crazy this weekend and the absolute attendance record for the lower Alpine Skiing circuit will be just destroyed in Jasná this weekend.

 

This girl has just surpassed Peter Sagan and all ice hockey stars in popularity in the country by huge difference

Makes you wonder why? Zuzulova was never that popular despite having a similar potential for success only wrecked by injuries? Maybe you shoud change your avatar now?

First pics from todays GS, more to come, especially tomorrow Sunday from the slalom

 

for the results today Petra won the GS despite her BIB 21 (yeah top 7 in WC means nothing in EC ) ahead of Marlene Schmotz and Eva Maria Brem   who were (as all foreign participating teams) really shocked by the attendance

and FIS noticed the growing interest, Jasná will host the 16th and 17th January 2021 the womens GS and Slalom World Cup

I have a feeling Jasna might take over from Spindleruv Mlyn for a while. Just make sure to offer the biggest prize aka Zagreb style and you'll have WC until Vlhova retires
