Expected 2 medals. Last year Germany won 2 medals despite Ledecky not being absent. You of all people should understand, you basically call every fencing event where Italy doesnt win gold disappointing. Compared to this expecting 2 medals here was pretty humble in my opinion.

 

Joerg should be thankful Ledecka loves alpine skiing more than snowboarding right now. I guess it's up to the challenge. She might be the World Champion but Ledecka is still the one that gets talked about the most :lol:

What a performance for 43 year old Jasey Jay Anderson, I wonder if he will go to Beijing.

I mean, he might as well

I understand, but Snowboard is a lot more aleatory than Fencing...

there are a lot more factors you can't control properly...especially on a course like yesterday's...

so, still coming home with the Gold Medal can't be considered "pretty disappointing"...

OK, it could have gone even better (it was really possible), but in the end it wasn't that bad (or did you prefer silver & bronze rather than just gold? :whistle:)...

 

p.s. and yes, the first name of the Swiss rider is Ladina, meanwhile Jenny (for the English speaking guys, it's pronounced "Yenni") is the Family name...no mistake...

I dont see it, the same athletes (Ledecka, Samkova, White, Kim) almost always win in some snowboard events, fencing has a better variety of winners.

Absolutely pointless race, completely unworthy. The fact that almost everyone on the blue course won clearly shows that this course was ridiculous. I guess Joerg cant believe her luck. A couple of years ago someone like her never would have gotten a gold medal in PGS, but sadly the level of competition is at an all time low. I miss the days of Ledecky (misspelling her name makes me feel cool :cool:) ... [semicit.]

1) Jörg was 2nd at the olympics last year and when the gold medal winner (Ledecka, the fact that you misspell her name on purpose clearly shows that you dont have respect for this sport and therefore shouldnt participate in the discussion) is missing, her winning gold is not very surprising.

2) In PGS/PS you always have uneven courses, thats why you have a qualification to determine who is the fastest on both courses and therefore should have the advantage. The fact that you dont know this again clearly shows that you shouldnt participate in this discussion.

3) "Absolutely pointless race, ..."

What race in specific are you talking about? You realize that we have multiple rounds in PGS (unlike in super g/downhill) and not only one race?

4) I am impressed that you mentioned two athletes in your comment (Jörg and Ledecka) and misspelled both of their names ...

5) You realize that Ledecka is only taking a break and will compete again in the future?

 

To sum it up: The level of cluelessness and ignorance displayed by you in this comment is absolutely outrageous, frankly i dont know why you waste your time on a sports forum, you clearly dont have a clue what you are talking about.

You've misspelled Ledecka's name yesterday too so just how petty are you, mister? Nobody held you accountable for that but since you're taking cheap shots now I'm doing that as well. Learn the name of the biggest snowboarding star before you criticize anyone in this thread!

And why I should have complexes about Americans? Does he take part in women's PS? Joerg might be World Champion but she'll never have Ledecka's status and White is way beyond her too. It's you who wants Horngacher as the head coach though. You had him all these years and now you still want him back :lol: Poor Germany only won 1 gold medal and their fan can't take it :sure:

Why are we even comparing White and Ledeská? Freestyle and alpine snowboarding are almost different sports now, there is no overlap between the athletes.

 

...and come on, Red Gerard isn’t even one of the one of the biggest star of slopestyle snowboarding, let alone snowboarding in general. He was a big media star in the US during the Olympics but that was about it.

    • Meanwhile, a bit of a request for help: I have been trying, but if anyone can find the qualification rules for the world championships in Trondheim, specifically the requirements to be allowed to start in all races, that'd be great, I can't find it anywhere yet..   Edit: of course I found it right after asking for help     Only remaining question is: does 'current' mean what at that moment is the current list (the 6th FIS points list) or the one that is used for the eligibility for the WSC 2025 as listed on the 'Dates of the lists' document (5th FIS points list)?    
    • Happy New Year to you as well!   So, we got back from Oberwiesenthal Sunday night, after an adventurous drive in the snow and a long road back home. It went well there: the classic sprint on Saturday resulted in 314 points, which improved her own position towards the team sprint in the world championships (being in the team sprint is potentially very important towards the Olympics). She beat her main rival by a whopping 11 seconds, so that was awesome.   20k mass start classic on Sunday wasn't that good: in the first of six laps, some athletes around her fell, one of them hit her left foot (the one that got injured in the accident 3 years ago) and that resulted in quite some pain. I was waiting with my drinks in the coaching area, but after the field passed there in lap two, she didn't appear, so I knew something was up. Walked back and saw her walking towards me, then she explained what had happened. The pain after being hit in the foot was too much to keep going for 16km, especially in a race that wouldn't count for the Olympic ranking anyway and was only meant for 'racing rhythm', continueing could do more damage than good.   That's a shame, but no problem, the sprint went well and that was WAY more important. Also: the day before the race we went to the Polish wax cabin to ask for help, because she does always need someone to wax her skis and 'Team' Brazil isn't really an option. The Polish very gladly helped (and were paid with a nice 12-pack of beer we brought for that occassion) and the skis were really good, so that was fantastic. Even better: after the mass start, and explaining why being hit in the foot was such a problem and so on, the wax guy - without us even asking - offered to also help at the world championships, and invited her for a training camp with the team in the summer     December had gone very well as well, right now (with still this entire season and half of next season to go) she is leading the Brazilian Olympic ranking by a nice margin. Of course many races to come for everyone, but so far, so good!   Next option is 17-19 January, FESA Cup in Falcade. Financially it's a bit tough, since that is yet another 2300km with the rental car (with which we already did 1600 now, and we only have 2000 on the contract, so every km outside of it costs 20 cents), plus another accomodation needed. We're looking into the options, because Falcade has a classic sprint AND a 10k freestyle, which is the absolute perfect combination considering those are the things that count for the Olympic ranking. We're trying to scrape enough together, so...we'll keep you updated

    • Heraskevyvh is very good in this season. He did worse last season. Our team is unfortunately doing much worse now.    In luge, unfortunately, it`s difficult to break the dominance of Germany, Austria and Latvia. The USA has also made a lot of progress. I have also read that Russia may return under a neutral banner, so I don`t think we will win a medal in Cortina 2026. The only hope is that we will use our knowledge of the new track in Cortina and then maybe we will win a one medal, maybe in the women's doubles. Unfortunately, we don`t have a star like Armin Zoeggeler as before.
