Nobody trains to be a good all-arounder anymore. People train to be elite in one event and they usually combine two to a very good degree and still only the best can be very good in three events (not anyone outside Shiffrin these days). All these short DHs give extra edge to technical skiers already who also profit from a much better shape of the slalom course anyway. Reversing Top 15 for the combined slalom would be the only way to cure this IMO but that hasn't happened.

More specifically, the way the combined is set up currently is a joke. The whole thing in itself is not bad at all if they manage to make it sort of balanced.

Combined is dead.

 

But if you had to tweak the slalom, start with the first of the downhill and go down the order. But that wouldn't be good for the "TV audience", so you can't help the combined, when there aren't the athletes for it...

You could start with a Slalom run and then reverse the result for the starting order in the Downhill.

I should probably stop writing now as this post is already so long that nobody will read it anyway (right?) but this is just driving me crazy.

 

No, it's a good post, and nothing wrong with being long, but it's just painful to read. More paragraphs, sir! ;)

      I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.

      I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.

      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.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      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 ,
