Alpine Skiing FIS World Championships 2019


Recommended Posts

Black year for sports already. Freestyle skiing world championships, snowboarding world championships and alpine skiing world championships have all been completely pointless, all those results have absolutely zero value going forward. Maybe in another decade or two we wont have professional winter sport at all anymore.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

zero predictions today for me...and I wanted to put Štuhec in gold place, but at last moment I decided to remove her from my podium completely and replace her by Goggia in 1st place...

 

also Schmidhofer and all :AUT team :facepalm:

First part of these World Championships was pretty terrible. Not the results and winners, of course.

 

I can't get excited with a minute of downhill/super g, no matter how excited Eurosport commentator gets.

You don't have to watch winter sports if you dont't like it. Stop being massochist and annoying others.

I am unashamed, at getting nothing done.

Same here, but at least I'm kinda happy to see two greats end their career with a medal.

Yeah that was a terrible race. A one minute downhill always sucks but at least those races tend to be super close and are exciting that way but today even that wasn't the case. There was some sort of excitment when Venier and Mowinckel almost beat Vonn's time but after that it was just Stuhec easily beating Vonn, then nobody getting close to Stuhec or even the podium before Suter easily got 2nd without being really close to Stuhec. Add to that changing weather conditions so the race wasn't even fair. Of course from an Austrian perspective I'm not happy either, (2nd 4th place, no speed medal for the women after dominating the world cup downhills) but even aside from that this wasn't very enjoyable today.

All speed events shortened. This first week would have been all but forgotten save for Svindal & Vonn bowing out with medals. And now it's Shiffrin & Hirscher showtime coming up next :lol:

 

I just hope this medal doesn't change Vonn's mind again... :wacko:

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
