Bottcher will coach Team Homan towards the next Olympic quad, and will also play mixed doubles with Rachel Homan. Rachelle Brown will also now be a permanent team member. Not really happy about the first two updates… I like Homan but with a partner like Bottcher I can’t root for them. Can’t believe I’m saying this but hopefully they have a really disappointing 2024-25 season that’ll make them rethink the first part of the update…

the WCF rankings may come into play for the mixed doubles qualifier. I was trying to gauge countries position coming into the season but I cannot reproduce the ranking totals that they have. For instance Norway has a score of 66.791 but achieved better than 75% of the possible points each year but one, so even logically I can't get my head around what they are doing.

Both teams rocking Swedish uniforms, and then there’s Wranå with a pink knitted headband and a white puffercoat jacket, I love it :dIMG_9766.jpeg

I have not been able to watch so much, but from what I saw today the games were not so good. Or what do you say? Maybe difficult ice, the ice had started to melt last weekend but I practed next to Hasselborg at the same rink earlier this week and it seemed to be good ice despite the problems. But a lot of curl, which of course these player should handle.

    • I won't write about injuries (Fede) and non-sporting matters (Colturi), but the fact is that Italy has its worst start to the season in alpine skiing in over 10 years... Just one victory, and podiums- if any, they're mostly 3 places. We're also not leading in any of the season standings, no in the women's or men's categories. This isn't be it should be in an Olympic year in your country, where you're having your worst season in many years.
    • Plaisier blew 3 match darts and Ratajski comes back to win!    
    • Yes, she was unlucky, but it could just as easily have happened during some training, like with Gut, etc. Brignone has been essentially injury-free throughout her long career, which is very rare in this sport. It's unfortunate that this happened after her best season ever and just 1 year before the Olympic Games in home, when she just missing of win the Olympic gold medal in her great career. With the gold in Cortina, she would have become a legend of Italian skiing, on par with Tomba. Now she's still the best Italian woman in history, but the miss of Olympic gold will likely haunt her for the rest of her life. 
    • It sad to see this season, as I remember, that Fede last year was winning everywhere, when she competed and finished and now we haven't even managed a single podium in the giant slalom, and it'll probably stay that way until the end of the season. Without Fede and Bassino, unfortunately, we're out of good cards in this event. For me Goggia should probably skip the giant slalom at all, becouse she has no chance of a podium and she risks further injuries. If even Goggia finish 8th or 10th? What difference does it make? If she couldn't get a podium finish today with so many DNFs at the top skiers, she probably never do. Della Mea is OK this year, but let's be honest, she's not World Cup podium material. Overall, it's a sad picture, and we have a 0% chance of anything in Cortina unless a miracle happens in Brignone return.   We have two chances for Goggia in DH and SG + maybe a dark horse in Pirovano/Curtoni in SG. That's all. In technical events, we have a 0% chance for medal and that's sad. Our federation also lost Colturi in this situation... In any normal country, the head of such a federation should be dismissed for disciplinary reasons and this case should be investigated by the minister, or even the prime minister, but not in Italy...
    • Mikaela Shiffrin  off the podium today (Edit: Oops...I thought this was slalom, not Giant Slalom.).  Nina Astner  entered the 2nd run in 30th place, but had the best second run, jumping up 18 places to 12th.
    • Maryna Gąsienica-Daniel with a 5th place PB in Semmering GS! 
    • Today RDC will defeat Senegal  and Tunisia 0-0 Nigeria
