Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2018 - 2019


Recommended Posts

It was odd how Hirscher completely fell off in Bansko/Kranjska Gora/Soldeu. Maybe he begins to feel his age a little but I'd be shocked if he retires now. He's still won the overall by a solid margin albeit not as big as in years past.

Not anymore tbh. If i was you would have seen me more in this thread. The years have passed, when i cared that much for alpine. Just curious how those results came to be.

Not only awesome to watch, but I also want to see someone defeating him finally in the World Cup standings after the fair rivarly through the whole season.

I think this would actually be a reason for him to retire. The aura of being invincible, of not being beaten in the overall world cup once ever since he emerged as a contender is what sets him apart from all other greats of the sport. Kristofferson can go on to win 80 races but people would still remember Hirscher as the better skier as Kristofferson could never beat him. If Hirscher continues and Kristofferson (or anyone else for that matter) beats him the narrative changes completely.

The way Borg retired at 26 in tennis in his prime. How many people consider him now in the GOAT discussion. Very little, because stats is all that matter.

 

Svindal (barring the thousands of injuries he has had) for me has been the best skier i have seen in my lifetime. But Hirscher has the stats and that is the end.
