Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2019 - 2020


Recommended Posts

I always enjoy watching races on Birds of Prey. Such a great course. Unfortunately I can't watch tomorrows' Downhill live due to work. :(

Always wonder if they get lessons in Hot Seat etiquette.  Or is it like in baseball where if you break the Unwritten Rules they will throw fastballs at your head? :finger:

Just make sure you stay warm, hope some other athlete wants to hang out for a while and make sure the sponsor stays visible :p

I know. ;) I don't actually have Eurosport Player anymore. The Danish version is notorious for its many technical issues. You can watch HBO and Netflix with out much lagging, but when you use Eurosport player it's lagging as f***. Sometimes you can't watch programs live because "We experience technical issue at the moment". 

It's beyond my comprehension why Eurosport Player doesn't work probably here in Denmark. Of course this is what I have experienced with the service, but I do know a couple more people who have tried Eurosport Player and they experience some of the same technical issues. It costs 17.30 Euros per month or 132.50 Euros for a year. For that price, it should work properly. 

I'm curious to know if Eurosport player works better in the Netherlands?

€132,50 per year, holy crap :yikes: 

 

I just renewed mine a few weeks ago for €39 for one year I believe, which is annoying because last week there was a Black Friday deal: €20 for one year. It works pretty well here, although the update they did this year is a bit annoying. For example they went from having two nice and small buttons for 30 seconds ahead and back to two big-ass buttons in the middle of the screen for 15 seconds ahead and back (meaning I'm doubleclicking all the time and can't do so anymore with my keyboard, so I have to keep my mouse plugged in my desktop instead of my laptop if I want to skip ahead while watching something). 

 

But apart from the annoying new things, it works fine :p

30 minute start delay for the women’s downhill in Lake Louise.

 

ES Player £39 a year in the UK, picture quality perfect.  Well, some people say that pq is not good for tennis, but looks OK for my sports.

The reason for the high price is because they bought the rights to show most matches from the Premier League. "Funnily" enough, this Summer they lost the rights to show any matches from the Premier League, but they haven't lowered the price and I think they have no intention to due so.

That is pretty shitty.

 

Come on, the nice thing about Eurosport Player is one can easily avoid all the boring football, don't put more football on there :lol:  Although Eurosport here doesn't have any football anymore I believe, sadly the only interesting competitions they had (youth/U17/18/19/20 and so on World Cups) are also gone.

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
