Drone attempting murder on Hirscher, was that also in Italy? Dorfmeister missed a guy in Turin 2006 I believe, as well.

 

The drone was in Italy (Madonna di Campiglio). But the Dorfmeister incident was in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

So Marco Odermatt busted his knee yesterday. Really dumb move to continue skiing after obvious discomfort. :facepalm:

 

 

 

According to ORF, Odermatt injured himself  a few gates before finish. It was not during the big mistake at the beginning of the run.

 

By the way, does anyone know some news about Kristoffersen? He had knee Problems after today's final run as well.

and it's 3 in a row for :ITA Dominik Paris in Bormio (4, considering also the last Super-G)...:cheer::bowdown:

 

and what a race it was between him, :SUI Feuz and :AUT Mayer!

 

But if you consider the last super-G, it should be only 3 in a row, since then one should count the alpine combined as well in which he DNF'ed :p

maybe better say he's now at 4 consecutive wins (3 DHs and 1 SG) in the last 4 speed races (the only that count, unless we talk of world champs and/or Olympic events) held on the Stelvio Track...

 

but yeah, that useless AC event from 2017 in between the downhill of the same year and the 2018 + 2019 speed races technically makes his series "only" a 3-win streak overall in Bormio...:nopompom:

    • This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints. 
    • Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains. 
    • When did Kim Min-Seok switch to Hungary?
    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
