heywoodu 13,663 Posted January 21 #254 Share Posted January 21 Hadn't really gotten around to the women's event yet, but now I did and damn Rarely seen such a massive disappointment for such a much anticipating home crowd...of all places to get injured Hopefully (and judging by their overall enthusiasm I'm definitely hopeful) the fans will come and cheer on all the other skiers tomorrow anyway, and Vlhova will be fully back to fighting strength next winter. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Monzanator 3,638 Posted January 21 #255 Share Posted January 21 (edited) I see some good crowd for the slalom. Ljutic is the only skier within one second of Shiffrin in the first run so far. Edited January 21 by Monzanator Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Vlhova may not be there today, the fans most certainly are, and only real fans come out even when the hero isn't there Great job for Jasna, looking forward to the crazy scenes at Vlhova's comeback next year If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

hckošice 13,339 Posted January 21 #257 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Mauro Pini said yesterday that Petra "was devastated but immediatelly thinking ahead for the next winter. She is one extremelly strong girl, both physically and especially mentally !" and I do agree with this. Petra send last night in her instagram a promise to all her fans I would like to thank all my fans, partners, family and friends for the incredible support and I promise that I will do everything to come back even stronger as soon as possible Edited January 21 by hckošice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,339 Posted January 21 #258 Share Posted January 21 FIS women´s section director expressed great enthusiasm and great satisfaction with this weekend and claim the World Cup will certainly return to Jasná soon and envisage to make Slovakia as regular venue of the World Cup. "We are extremely satisfied. Everything here was good, from the preparation of the track, which is excellent, we have excellent conditions, we have equally good conditions on the competition and training hill. Very good indeed. But I also want to mention the overall organization or logistics. The audience here is fantastic both days. Overall, a really positive assessment." and yep the atmosphere is amazing even despite the national hero being in the hospital. People still came and cheer to every skier. It is a weird country with weird people but it is also a great country with great people as we saw already in this morning Slalom 1st run maestro, Monzanator and heywoodu 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,638 Posted January 21 #259 Share Posted January 21 (edited) It's no different than ski jumping in Poland for the past 25 years. Obviously FIS is always hard pressed to elevate locations "east of Oder" but even they must realize the winter sports face an uphill challenge for exposure in the global media world these days so they should put an emphasis on locations where fans actually show up. At least nobody is talking about doing alpine skiing in Saudi Arabia just yet Edited January 21 by Monzanator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,339 Posted January 21 #260 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Man the noise barely caused an avalanche during Zrinka Ljutič run Very nice words from Shiffrin Edited January 21 by hckošice rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
