I just read Waldner press conference summary, apparently Yanqing stage is at serious risk.

 

I read in Polish media this morning that the Chinese round has been cancelled outright due to the virus.

No rest for Bassino, Vlhova is still to come  

 

Well, today's time is 0,3 faster than yesterday despite virtually no change in the course so Vlhova will have to improve some too. At these speeds she's not as shifty as Bassino due to the weight difference.

FIS declared that an official decision will be adopted this week, after a feedback from the national federations

Vlhova lost quite some time with a mistake in the bottom though, there is definitely room for improvement.

Wiles catches an edge 20 meters before the finish and crashes into the boards. Hopefully no injury!

Crap, Wiles

No interruption, I guess we can carefully assume Wiles is alright then.

 

Edit: She's still there, Veith of course started before Wiles' crash.

At least she's walking away, albeit rather careful.

Yeah, the speed is obviously higher which took her outside of the line at the second to last turn.

Right, I'm not going to be like German TV and miss a potential Vlhova upset, so the snacks I've got at home will have to make do for the Streif
