Alpine Skiing FIS World Championships 2025

All 4 Swiss in the Top 6

We only have Brignone's chance left in the giant slalom. If she doesn't make it, we'll end up with 1 silver in the Olympic events. Very bad.

It's just that in winter Italy doesn't have any flagship sport (like Germany in luge, Austria and Sui in alpine skiing) and recently we've had practically no positive surprises for outsiders, like in summer events. We have the multitude of 4-5 places and still watching the backs of the powers in different sports, whether in luge or alpine skiing etc. In alpine skiing we have strong girls but if that translates into 1-2 medals at the World Championships, then we have nothing to talk about. Especially since Brignone and Goggia are over 30. Next year's winter games will be an epochal defeat for us, because it will be difficult to even win 10 medals. Only speed skating and short track can save us.

 

 

Some results in the last few days in several competitions:

 

 

- Paris: 4 in men`s downhill (0,15 to podium),

- Goggia: 5 in women`s Super G (0,06 to podium),

- Paris: 7 in men`s Super G (0,16 to podium),

- Fischnaller: 4 in men`s single luge,

- Voetter/Oberhofer: 4 in women`s double.

 

Only Brignone in women`s Super G have a medal but only silver behind 0,10 sec. Venier from Austria. 

 

It's really hard to watch you constantly lose to Germans, Austrians or Swiss in various disciplines and you're helpless in it and no other positive surprise compensates you for it. I'm slowly getting fed up.

How long will the events tommrow and Wednesday take. My TV schedule says only 45 mins or so for each of the two events.

It's a bit of a time waster frankly.  A team combined event with different people doing each leg, and multiple teams per nation.

They took away long lasting legacy of combined races to replace it with Team Combined.

I am not a big fan of these experiments being adapted immediately by the olympics.

All Olympic Sports are unfortunately under pressure from the IOC to produce mixed-sex events, no matter how much they detract from history & tradition.

The only interesting story today was Shiffrin dissing Vonn and later won with Johnson, while Vonn finished well behind, mostly due to her downhill.
