When you are ranked number 488 in slalom and have 31.02 FIS points, you get a high starting number. https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/athlete-biography.html?sectorcode=AL&competitorid=35276&type=fispoints Edited December 19, 2018 by wumo26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiffrin 33 Posted December 19, 2018 #522 Share Posted December 19, 2018 1 hour ago, dcro said: Does Ted Ligety have a dentist appointment or something tomorrow, hence the late start time? He basically has no FIS points or WC SL points hence the low number. I can’t see him after this season, he’s not even competitive in his GS, so I guess he’ll just quit. Roberto Nani, although “only” 30 years old has completely lost his GS start number and with low bibs at EC, his results there are not even cutting it close to what you’d expect from a GS specialist. I don’t think Italian federation will even put him in the A-team or maybe even B-team if his results don’t drastically improve. They have enough younger skiers doing well in EC to let Nani go care-free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 4,452 Posted December 19, 2018 #523 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Why is Ligety even doing slalom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,210 Posted December 20, 2018 #524 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Ryding flops at the course set by his own coach. Just putting it out there since such things are mentioned here only when someone does well on his "own" course. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerMne 1,016 Posted December 20, 2018 #525 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Course is already looking like 100+ skiers finished it. 4 seconds will again be sufficient for 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iirc he was somewhere similar a few years after his Olympic victory, got back into the top 15 or even top 7 around 2015 and now has dropped down the starting order again. This just happens so often in slalom. I remember everyone thinking Mario Matt was finished after he finished outside the top 30 in the 2010 slalom ranking it and being nowhere at the beginning of the 2011 season. He finished that season with two wins and a 2nd place and went on to win a world championship medal and Olympic gold in the following years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerMne 1,016 Posted December 20, 2018 #528 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Occasionally,slalom races turn to be like this one. Snow,plus few other factors and race is painfull to watch. With 6 seconds(well, almost) skier could qualify for 2nd round. Even Kamerlander or Birkner could qualify with that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
