Entry list for stage 1 - Rotorua, New Zealand are available. 

 

2024.01.31_-_Rider_Entry_List.pdf (ctfassets.net)

 

In terms of Olympic quotas, on the men's side, :FRA and :COL are nailed on for 3 quotas. :SUI will get 2. That leaves two more nations who will get 2 quotas and the fight is between :USA :GBR & :NED who are separated by 100 points. 

 

On the women's side, the main focus from Olympic quota perspective will be between :AUS and :GBR - and really that comes down to the fight between Saya Sakakibara and Bethany Shriever.

Decidedly meh kind of performance from all of the :GBR men - Kye Whyte doesn't make it out of the 1/8 finals and the rest of them drop out in the 1/4 finals. They're going to lose a lot of ground to :USA and it looks like they could drop behind :NED.

 

British women faring better - Shriver safely through to semi-final of elite event but so too Sakakibara and Reynolds of :AUS. Emily Hutt in the final of the under-23s

Thought Beth and Ross got very unlucky in round 2.

 

Beth couldn’t get round Saka into round 1 and then tailed her throughout, gaining on the final straight to finish a tyre behind.

 

Ross was leading down second straight in his semi final where he lost his balance on slight contact and couldn’t stay on the course.

Still a very interesting battle for the 4-6 positions.

 

Interesting that GB has 2 serious medal candidates (and Tokyo Olympic medalists), but not enough depth for a second quota at the moment. This is an issue for the Dutch men as well, youngsters Ynze Oegema (23) and Jaymio Brink (19) will have to step up to really secure that second quota for us.

On the women's side, I'd agree with you - GB's position is pretty much entirely on Shriever which makes it difficult to keep pace with nearest rivals. Emily Hutt is one of the best in the under-23s, but the points on offer aren't great.

 

For the men, we've got 4 world class riders so it would be a real shame if they can't find a way to get 2 into Paris. Unfortunately none of them had a great weekend although Ross Cullen looked good in round 2 until he had an issue in his semi-final.

    • We must ask our Austrian users if they cheered for him. But do we have any Austrian users LOL?
    • It's just that Austria had a lot of skiers in that time and we don't have any others among the young ones now.
    • Marco Girardelli went to Luxembourg one day and he had a great career. I doubt he did regret that move.

    • You know, but we still don't know what that was about. Ceccarelli has a difficult character but still changing colors to a country with which you have absolute no connetions? What would you say if Iga Swiatek fell out with the Polish tennis federation and started playing for Luxembourg or Andorra? Certainly not everyone would decide to take such a step, even if they had to give in a little in talks with the federation.    Another thing is that the Italian training system simply doesn`t work. As you can see, there are talents but we don`t know how to train them. Since the golden generation born in 1990-1995 (Brignone, Bassino, Goggia) we haven`t trained anyone who would stand on the podium in giant slalom or slalom in World Cup. So something is wrong. At the beginning of the 21st century we had a large group of good athletes in giant slalom (maybe not at Brignone's level): Karbon, Moelgg, Putzer, Gius, etc., who were able to win World Cups, win World Championship medals, etc. Now we have no one. In women's giant slalom for example: if Brignone and Bassino are gone, even getting to the first 20 in World Cup will be a problem for us.
    • I remember that Lara Gut's family also had a conflict with the Swiss federation at the beginning of her career around 2008/2009 but it was resolved. I remember that the family also wanted to have a greater influence on their daughter's career. It was probably similar here. If there was a will from both sides, an agreement should have been reached. Especially since Colturi has zero ties with Albania. Sinner could have played for Austria sooner, as a person from South Tyrol.
    • Berrettini defeated Kokkinakis in 3 set   And now, it's Sinner time.
    • Well, it was to be expected that Colturi was going to have a breakout result like that sooner or later and the state of Italian alpine skiing will create some very long faces. But hey, if Italy  let their "best" prospect walk because of money then it's their fault. If there was some personal feud between Ceccarelli & federation it's even worse.
