Fischnaller can only say "thanks!" to the blue course...

it's really an enormous advantage today...totally unfair competition...

 

in the meantime, the snow is thicker and thicker...

Yeah, like their opponent crashing and coming to a near-standstill, that'll do it....oh wait, Hofmeister disagrees

2 gates...people need 2 gates advantage before the last 5 gates of the track to have any chance on the red course...

Yes, that's what I meant: on the red course athletes need their opponent on the blue course to crash, but for Baumgartner (against Hofmeister) even that was not enough

Ok, I just misread your previous post...you know, after dinner (and some glasses of wine) it's not so easy to understand everything at a first look...

I'm not sure that we can call this parallel slalom... What shame

[phelps 7,797]

and Joerg won't make the double...

that's what it takes to lose on the blue course...you gotta break your (snow)board!

[phelps 7,797]

wow! Dancha from Ukraine in the top 4! that's a surprise...

This is an olympic event as well?

Winning on red with a crash...Valova is the best ever
