German commentator (and co-commentator Marco Büchel) are angry about there being two downhills both here and in Kitzbühel. Both because it might be too tough on the athletes, but also because it devalues the classics: there should be one Streif winner, one Lauberhorn winner, it becomes less special if there's more of them.

What can you do, so many early season cancellations. Unfortunately the January classics have to double up or you have a 5 race WC.

Austrian TV reported about a broken leg (open fracture), which means that we lost him for the season  

In English it’s called a greenstick fracture - ie the bone protrudes through the flesh.

Yeah that's what I meant with my other post  In terms of rescheduling, sometimes there just isn't much choice, but for example Kitzbühel is simply a scheduled double header for some reason (money, I know), which simply makes the Streif win less....well, classic.

First training sessions in Jasná. Apart Vlhová,   Dubovská, Leona Popovic and Zrinka Ljutic and team trained this weekend in the Jasná slope

 

Despite the whole wekkend is already sold out for a couple of weeks, the organizers added today some 400 new special tickets which were also sold in few minutes

 

FIS made yesterday their mandatory control which ended successfully and the Jasná stage has now green light

yeah, luckily there's no greenstick fracture as by the early reports

 

the situation is not ideal, but way lighter than what a broken femur would mean
