I'm a bit angry. That's undeserved. I'm sorry, but it is. Lundby almost fell down in the first round and got way to high marks. 

 

It wasn't as bad as yesterday tbh. But Althaus two-foot landing cost her the gold, she couldn't do anything about the wind compensation in the 2nd round.

Very sad day, Althaus was definitely the better athlete today, but the judges didn't want it to be. Lundby is bound to come down like Vogt did after a couple of years, hopefully that's when Althaus will be finally rewarded.

Lundby is far better than what Vogt has ever been , you can't compare those two. Just face that Lundby is the best female jumper in the world.

Overall World Cup 2013/14: https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/ski-jumping/cup-standings.html?sectorcode=JP&seasoncode=2014&cupcode=WC&disciplinecode=all&gendercode=L&nationcode=

As you can see, in contrast to what is generally thought, Vogt did not come out of nowhere in Sotschi. She did not win because she was suddenly better than during the World Cup. She won because Takanashi was significantly worse than during the World Cup. 

 

Same during the World Championships 2015. Only at the WC two ago she came from an outsider position.

Takanashi is a well-known choker at the big events, basically the female Schlierenzauer. Vogt didn't come out of nowhere but neither did Lundby who actually led in Lahti after the 1st round. This time she's learned how not to throw it away but she won the Olympics before that already. She's got more staying power and definitely avoids the choking bug that has plagued Takanashi.

Vogt won 2 world championships and an olympic gold, Lundby was very lucky today to win her first world championships gold. Of course Lundby has one more overall world cup, but unlike Vogt she never had to compete against peak Takanashi (the best female ski jumper of all times).

Of course Lundby didn't come out of nowhere. I'm disappointed and a bit angry, because I think Althaus was today the best Jumper and deserved to win gold. But there's no doubt that Lundby is a world class ski Jumper.

Completely agree, noone said that Lundby came out of nowhere today, but anyone who isn't completely biased has to admit that Althaus today was the better athlete. Lundby got clearly overscored + it's easier to make a telemark when you jump half a kilometer shorter in each round. Same conditions + fair judges -> Althaus wins the gold medal today in 99 out of 100 cases.

Lundby wins by 0,5 point! Wind compensation made the difference and Althaus landing on two feet in the first jump.

 

Lundby utterly dominates the World Cup for the last two seasons so I doubt she's going anywhere given her age. She's like the Takanashi who actually wins the big events too! Althaus can't win anything since mid-December now ;)

1) Takanashi severely declined already despite being 2 years younger than Lundby

2) Vogt won her last title in 2017, when she was as old as Lundby is now

3) Althaus is 2 years younger than Lundby

Please don't let facts disturbe you ...

      It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.

      The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.

      It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?

      More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.

      I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.

      Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
