Unbelievable that both the M&F National №1s get season enders at their home race.  :nopompom:

the word devastating cannot adequately express the magnitude of the state and current feelings/situation

 

I personally feel so empty right now, so sad and devastated, I can hardly imagine how must feel Petra right now, it was the weekend she marked in her calendar and the whole country was waiting for so much...

 

nah, seriously, fuck it sometimes, the life is really a bitch...

Hadn't really gotten around to the women's event yet, but now I did and damn :cry: 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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

I see some good crowd for the slalom.

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 :d 

 

Great job for Jasna, looking forward to the crazy scenes at Vlhova's comeback next year :cheer:

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

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 :yes

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 :p

    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
