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:

    • I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races 
    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
