Does Ted Ligety have a dentist appointment or something tomorrow, hence the late start time?

When you are ranked number 488 in slalom and have 31.02 FIS points, you get a high starting number.

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.

Why is Ligety even doing slalom?

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.

Course is already looking like 100+ skiers finished it. 4 seconds will again be sufficient for 2nd round.

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

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.

First top 10 for  Stefan Hadalin in WC.
