I'd love to see Zenhäusern in a metal band.

So first Petra´s speed events weekend try is over

 

Fridays Downhill: Bib32 --- 6th place

Saturdays Downhill: Bib31 --- 11th place

Sundays Super-G: Bib 31 ---- 6th place

 

not bad, the goal from Magoni was to earn 60 points this weekend, achieved and surpassed.

 

For this year it´s all but apparently, she said it in the flash interview right now, next season they are going to compete almost all events - depending on the how will the preparation for the new season go on. especially she need to get used more on the longer speed skis

I hope she's not expecting the same results on normal speed courses though, if there was one weekend to try it, it was obviously this one where the technical specialists had a huge advantage

This was a speed weekend only by name. DH was a glorified Super G with giant slalom sections. I've never seen such nonsense. Rosa Khutor and Garmisch will be true speed events.

A bit boring course in Kitzbuehel.

Tina Maze's magic skis are gone? It was no secret she used Maze's custom made skis once Tina retired. If she lost access to those (because why would Stoeckli continue to put so much effort since Stuhec isn't an all-arounder like Maze was) that explains it all IMO.

I see one Steven Amiez making his WC debut with bib #72. Guess that's Sebastien's son?

ES player is acting up whole weekend. 

 

actually, it's been a disaster for quite a while now...since the last major update last autumn, they've gone back to the unwatchable 25 fps pictures...

 

and their streams are having a lot of troubles all week long...it all started last sunday/monday when the tennis tournament in Melbourne opened the doors...I'm not following tennis, but it's all week that I'm reading they have a lot of worldwide troubles, with matches missing completely, others being cut at the beginning or at the end, picture quality lowering down every while...

 

tbh, they are by far the worst sport OTT service among all those I normally use from a technical point of view...

 

in this sense, they're not worth even the 25€ for 1 year I paid for on the last Black Friday (and I subscribed only because of the Olympics and because I fear they're going to heat up the price when the Olympics come)...

 

luckily, I have a lotr of options thanks to my satellite dish and I can avoid using EuspPlayer and/or the Italian tv (rai)...

Thank God for Rai Sport on my TV dish

 

Daniella Ceccharelli is quite animated with her commentary.

 

you're lucky if you don't understand what they say...

 

otherwise you wouldn't be so happy to follow almost any sport on that tv channel...

yes, he's Seb's son (he's already 21, however...I thought he was younger)...

Braathen takes the lead with Bib 34
