I didn't watch the team event. Complete waste of time at this stage. Looks like USA learned some lessons from the Olympics where they completely botched the tactics putting their worst skiers on the faster course all the time.

tbh, today's team event was held on a perfectly fair course for the first time ever (snowboard included).

 

the only problem came out late in the semis and finals, when a couple of gates of the red course were slightly more ruined and therefore the last 3 gates looked slower than the blue course, but it was more a feeling than actual issue.

 

tonight's quali of the individual parallel slalom were held on a different track and we were back to the usual disparity between red and blue, but the rules just made it a non problem, since the entire qualification was structured on completely separate timings between the 2 tracks.

therefore no injustice was done, as only clockings on the same course were compared between each other.

 

tomorrow we'll be back on the fair track (used basically only for the parallel competitions).

Another farse in parralel race. Only one run, therefore no chance for all skiers to improve on other course. :facepalm:

well, this time it wasn't an issue, as the clockings on the red and blue course were counted only between themselves.

 

there was no comparison between what happened on the other course, even if one was clearly faster than the other.

Yes, but they should put qualification like in snowboard, with two runs.

yeah, but at least with this method it's not unfair.

 

imho, in Snowboard they should have 2 runs in the knockout stage, meanwhile in alpine skiing they could well get rid of this race...

Blue course is closer to the shade so it's clearly faster than red but not 0,50+ faster so there's a fighting chance for anyone who gets the 2nd run on red. However Marta Bassino totally bombed 1/8 and lost to Lamure.

 

The Polish caterpillar makes the last 8 but that's probably that given #1 Stjernesund awaits...
