I haven’t got to watch it yet, but there’s always been an opening ceremony.

@Olympian1010 @Grassmarket Who are you guys cheering for this year? I am rooting for the minty maniacs & the hazers. I started cheering for the minty maniacs in qualifying, so I am not a bandwagon.

It's never too late to have an unofficial predictions contest :)

You can tell the teams

 1 You want to support 

 2. Team who you think will win the competition 

 

For specific events starting from E2 you can predict the top 8. Since it's very hard to have a favourite the prediction will be fun as anyone can get it right and anyone terribly wrong on the day.

Oh you’re right, we totally should have had a prediction contest on this.

Ooooooooooooooooo! 
 

I’ve always been an Orangers fan since I started watching. It’s been a rough few tournaments for us lately, so hopefully the Marble League where the team finds it mojo again. 
 

I used to despise the Savage Speeders, but now I support them as my second favorite team. They’ve been hot in the last few Marble Leagues, so they’ll be a threat for the title.

 

I also support Mellow Yellow and Crazy Cats Eyes as well.

Just catching up today. Savage Speeders had a fantastic performance in the qualifiers. Hopefully that translates to the main tournament.

 

Orangers still have a lot of work to do it seems :(

 

Overall, I’m pretty pleased with the teams that made the main tournament this year.

Very intriguing way to start the 2020 Marble League. Opening Ceremony wasn’t my favorite they’ve done, but no one's here to watch that anyways.

 

I really enjoy the balancing event. I think it’s one of the better concepts they’ve come up with. What’s really interesting to me is the disparity between the scores of the qualification round and the main tournament. I have no clue what caused that be honest.

 

Unfortunately, two of my least favorite teams are now leading the standings. Horrible day for most of the teams I support

    • 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
