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.

Nice to see that Flukedecka wont steal another medal.

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 team

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.

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.

Women´s Downhill:

 

1. Ilka Stuhec    1:01.74

2. Corinne Suter    1:01.97

3. Lindsey Vonn    1:02.23

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

 

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