Not team ski cross
And that's coming from someone who absolutely loves watching the ski cross. Team ski cross just adds nothing at all. Whereas athletics relays make for an entirely different dynamic (a 4x100 is a very much different event than the 100m and results are entirely different than if you'd just add up everyone's 100m times), the team ski/snowboard cross is literally just two team members doing their runs back-to-back with no direct exchange or anything.
Just like the luge team event adds nothing at all
Never saw this until now, but yeah… no thanks (and this is coming from a massive volleyball fan, even para so)
I wouldn’t mind ice climbing, but there’s a couple sports and events (like FreeRide, telemark skiing, and team ski cross) that I’d probably add before.
It's been confirmed that Slovenia will send only their u19/23 cyclists. So no world tour cyclists at these Euros for us. As for women only Bujak will compete in the pro division.
If run one has a fall on the third hit and run two on the fourth hit, it's very much still in need of scoring both runs to see which one scores best. In terms of the overall, finishing 7th or 8th definitely makes a difference.
The only time a second run might not be scored is if run one was entirely clean (or at least didn't have a fall) and run two did have a fall.
Nobody really says that though, and definitely nobody wants that
Fact is, however, that more and more 'traditional' venues will leave the calendar because we as humanity as fucking up the climate.
I actually think the WDSF did a reasonably good job running the Olympic event (like whatever people think of breaking, the actual breaking competition was well run).
But there is definitively a lot of incompetence when it comes to how that federation runs breaking in general. Which is why I think you see most athletes not engage with WDSF events outside of when they had to qualify for the Olympics.
