After the return of Marcel Hirscher, now there are rumors that one Lindsey Vonn is thinking of coming out of retirement.

Yep, confirmed.  We have Marcelletje for , Lindsay Vonn and Lucas Pinheiro Braathen for .

 

However, Vonn and Hirscher will be wild cards, so starting down with the Chileans and the Iranians in the first leg.  Snow conditions are good though.

World Cups don't generally have the exotic competitors we see in the world championships though, it's more likely starting down with the 13th best Austrians and such

I expected Vonn to return in a speed event, but guess she wants to test herself first on a slower GS. Though at 40 i think she won't be doing many GSs and concentrate on the DH & SG. And hopefully she does that, because a full World Cup season should be out of her aim.

 

As for Hirscher, he must really be scared of Odermatt breaking his records

He literally said "I wouldn't be able to qualify for the Austrian team anymore" (apart from making it very clear his main reason to come back is because he also wants to end up representing his mother's country), so I highly doubt he is genuinely expecting to keep Odermatt away from his records

There's discussions on the Short Track Forum about broadcast rights.  Came across this page a few days ago when I was looking into biathlon news.  Seemingly there's going to be a mess with Alpine rights in  with races going onto the expensive pay TV service Viaplay.  Was looking on another forum and a Norwegian guy was saying he couldn't see anything for this weekend.....

I'm not sure how it is elsewhere, but in the US the rights for all events in and are sold separately, while every other event's broadcast rights was sold in a package (to an expensive pay streaming service)
