So sorry for Rebensburg, she was definitely the best athlete in giant slalom this season, sadly she had a pretty bad start into the season. Rebensburg with a better first run would be the Shiffrin of giant slalom. :d

This was a rather boring season on the womens side for me. No Maze or Fenninger and Shiffrin/Vonn with a lot of bad luck, otherwise Gut never wouldve won the overall world cup. Next year we should see an amazing fight for the overall world cup, hopefully Shiffrin/Rebensburg will get better in giant slalom/speed events. We could see an amazing fight in all disciplines except slalom. In speed events we could see a fight between Maze/Fenninger/Vonn/Gut/Weirather/Rebensburg/all the other girls and in giant slalom we could see a fight between Fenninger/Maze/Brem/Rebensburg/Shiffrin. Maybe Vlhova or Holdener can "grow up" to challenge Shiffrin ... :p

 

On the mens side i really wouldve liked to see Svindal winning the overall world cup, but he also had a lot of bad luck and Hirscher was just too consistent. I hope Svindal (if he scores better in giant slalom and wont get injured again) or maybe even Pintaurault (if he improves in slalom) will challenge Hirscher, but in maybe opinion Kristoffersen has the best chance to beat Hirscher.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • Elia Barp? That's wishful thinking I have more chances to become a billionaire
    • "Out of stadium" why not just call it road events? 
    • GSOC Kioti National | Saint Johns, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada    Men 1.  Team Mouat 2.  Team Jacobs 3.  Team McEwen 3.  Team Whyte   Team Mouat have now won the first 3 slams to start the season, and keep their hope for a Grand Slam alive. They’d be the first team to ever achieve that feat.    Women 1.  Team Homan 2.  Team Hasselborg 3.  Team Kim 3.  Team Einarson   Team Homan were 5-2 down entering the 6th end and somehow managed to find a way to win. Now 40-2 on the season, including 5 titles, and are 107-9 in their last 116 games. Incredible consistency.    Full Results
    • I would say the same with Serbia   May the best team win 
    • Yes, there are chances for us to make it, but also there are chances for you to beat us by more than 6 goalsOur team is very unpredictable at the moment.
    • My guess is that Montenegro will beat Czech Republic and for the our match it will be about goal difference. I read that if Serbia beat Romania by 6 goals then we will pass. So there are still chances that you can make it. 
    • Difficult for us without Neagu But we had some good moments against Montenegro last night. We lost due to many errors in defence, we have to improve that. I don't know what to expect against Serbia, I would say 55% we will go home after group stage, unfortunatly. About the other matches, except Croatia vs Faroe Islands which ended with a draw, not to many surprises.
    • Congrats to Max for another win. Easy race for him   The battle for constructor championship is still running What a disgrace for the directors of the race to not send the safety car on track due to that mirror which caused a puncture to Sainz and Hamilton. By the way, looking of the direction of Bottas when he hit that mirror we can be suspicious that he did that intentionally. Ok, he had to give space to the driver who laped him, but his direction is too strange. Pitty such race was ruined by this incident.
    • World Athletics announce the World Athletes of the Year.  Big awards go to Letsile Tebogo and to Sifan Hassan.    Women’s World Athlete of the Year: Sifan Hassan (NED) Men’s World Athlete of the Year: Letsile Tebogo (BOT) Women’s track: Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (USA) Women’s field: Yaroslava Mahuchikh (UKR) Women’s out of stadium: Sifan Hassan (NED) Men’s track: Letsile Tebogo (BOT) Men’s field: Mondo Duplantis (SWE) Men’s out of stadium: Tamirat Tola (ETH) Women’s Rising Star: Sembo Almayew (ETH) Men’s Rising Star: Mattia Furlani (ITA)       Seems a bit strange to me - OK, there is a case for Tebogo over Duplantis who can basically win every year, but for me Manuchikh beating an almost 30 year old WR beats winning Olympic Marathon Gold.    Hassan and Tebogo named World Athletes of the Year | World Athletics
