These also start this week. Unfortunately, it seems like we’re taking a significant step back from the last edition. There is no official website or results system as of yet, which is shame since we had a great results system and plenty of streaming last time around.

It feels like these games don't exist what a pity 

Yeah, it’s unfortunate. Cape Verde did such a good job hosting them last time.

They’ve been live-streaming to a Facebook page, but no graphics or even formal results available elsewhere :(

    • I really liked what the slopestyle course offered at these Games. It was a little unorthodox with one rails section, followed by two kickers, then a modified pipe feature and finally two more rails, but it produced some fun runs  
    • is on start list of tomorrow standard mixed relay 
    • Shiffrin comes, Shiffrin wins, a tale old as time     Don't know what to take from today's event. I'm pretty neutral on the gimmick, it wasn't horrible, but it's not the Combined i remember from 20 years ago. Though it is known for everyone of us, that the classic Combined is dead for many reasons, if it's between this and no Combined at all, i would take this doubles format. The added pressure that you a performing not only for yourself is an interesting aspect.
    • The team event also have one other big problem in my opinion. As long as you had the best male and femaler skiier, it doesn´t matter at all who the two other skiiers are and how poor they would perform because you would always win on the tiebreaker.
    • Women's Team Combined Final Results   United States Breezy Johnson Mikaela Shiffrin 2:40.89(1:42.11+58.78)   Switzerland Lara Gut-Behrami Wendy Holdener 2:41.28(1:42.89+58.39)   Austria Stephanie Venier Katharina Truppe 2:41.42(1:42.46+58.96) Full Final Result HERE
    • Oh ya, the team parallel event could really use a qualifying run. Unfortunately it’s an even lower prestige event than the combined was so I doubt the FIS wants to make it more demanding on skiers than it absolutely needs to be - they struggled to get big names to compete *at the Olympics*
    • Think that's right. It had become low prestige event which the big names ducked because of either time wasted or increased injury risk.
    • Personally I loved combined, because it represents true diversity of skier knowledge. But sadly almost no one wanted to compete more serious, so they kind of enforce these changes.    I am not against changes, just they should try them at first in low tier, then World cup and later on big stage.   Also, I would like to point out, for Team Event, it is really dumb, there are already known pairings based on Nations Cup.   It would be better to start with qualification runs, and according to those times set bracket. 
    • Unfortunately the combined was dying for years at this point. It’s basically not on the World Cup anymore, and since there are so few true overall skiers anymore (esp on the men’s side). This is actually a case where I think it would have stayed the same if it was just the women, but the last few top level men’s combined were just really bad.   This is basically just a way for the FIS to save the event, because they were seemingly at a loss to maie the event work after trying a bunch of different formats.
    • This doesn`t surprise me, because these are completely different generations of skiers and Schiffrin preferred to start with her friend, who is currently better sports level than Vonn. She might have chosen Vonn only because of pressure from sponsors and the media.
