Alpine Skiing FIS World Championships 2023


Recommended Posts

I know it's not everyone's favourite discipline, but I do like the concept of the combined, finding the best all-round skier. The current format works better than it used to when they used to reverse the top 30 for the slalom run, gives the speed racers a bit more of a chance.

 

It's just a shame to see so few athletes racing it - the start list for the women's race was ridiculously short, not helped by 1/3 of the racers DNSing the second run. Good to see the men's start list is a bit longer. Nonetheless, the cream normally seems to rise to the top; in the last decade or so, we've had the likes of Hirscher, Ligety, Pinturault for the men and Shiffrin, Brignone, Holdener for the women winning major championships. So at least it isn't giving out farcical medals to athletes who just luck in, like in another event... (parallel).

 

Hoping the men's race should be good tomorrow. There's a lot of contenders - Pinturault, Strolz, Schwarz, Meillard, McGrath, Kilde, Murisier. Odermatt is on the start list but assuming he'll use it just as a training run and not start the slalom?

Odermatt & Paris skipped a gate on purpose in SG. Kilde, Kriechmayr & Crawford DNS in slalom...

 

Pinturault vs Schwarz for the gold with only 0,06 between them. Battle for bronze pretty open with McGrath within striking distance to upset some odds.

 

Strolz completely nowhere as he lost 2,48 in Super G and even finished behind one of the Szolloses :rolleyes:

Insane twisty at the bottom! This will be a bloodbath for the speed skiers. And Schwarz blows it there too. Lost 0,40 and Pinturault is handed a gold medal most likely.

Nothing worse than missing the first gate,  :roflmao:

Well, thinking again, we’ve seen them trip out over the starting wand.

McGrath with one mistake on the top and couldn't make enough time despite being 0,50 faster in the slalom alone. Only Meillard can deny Haaser the medal now...

    • Actually, it seems Wicklow Irish Pub is an actual small chain in the city of Queretaro in  
    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.   Do you think, that is there any hope that thanks to the popularity of Haaland and football in general in Norway in recent years, winter sports such as biathlon or cross-country skiing will lose a little bit, becouse that?

    • This suggestion  @Dnl  made some months ago has also been implemented.   In each club, I have added a "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" record which takes the content from the Qualification by Nation tracker of that NOC.   People who see it can not edit the content, but it will be automatically updated once @Matej will update the record, and if you notice any mistake feel free to report it to Matej or in the record itself.   Club's admins can now edit the name of the section into their own language or change the spelling, I have used "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" for all the clubs. To do so, go inside the section, then click on "Manage Club"-"Edit this database Record" and change the name of the section:     By the way, if you are not a club's admin but you would like to edit things inside the club just let me know and I will give you the rights to do so. There can be more "admins" inside the club with the rights to edit and organize the sections, and that's not a role that require time or commitment.   Let's try to make all the clubs active during MiCo and when the LA28 qualifications will start!
