BIB 1 Alexander Khoroshilov already out. Crazy conditions, crazy race...

 

Vidovic 30th...

 

EDIT: out at least Krýzl with amazing 1st run

Yay, dropped out of top 30 after Bib 67... That's it, we are never going to win points again. As long as the likes of Austrians can enter million skiers per race and we are allowed only 1. That's all despite we kicked their ass many times and we have current World junior champion and bronze medalist among other things... Nevertheless, we are allowed to have as many skiers as Bolivia.

 

FIS is a joke.

Well, Slovakia doesn't really have top 30 material outside of Zampa. We literally have trials before every race because 3-4 skiers are on the same level. Even in the "glory days" we didn't have such depth.

I did not say nothing about top 30, I meant in the normal start list, but anyway I´m still pretty sure that we deserve at least those 2 places in the start list...maybe even 3 but well, that´s not the topic...

 

head up, Croatia has a bright future, even if next time you´ll have only one skier, he can win points (today it was really only about luck, this time he was unlucky, maybe next time he will have more) and thus open immediately the door for another your skier for next race. thats still only the start of the season..so keep faith dude

Well, it's WAY too often about that in alpine skiing for us. Some of the recent unlucky outcomes include 16th place at World cup final last season from junior champion Istok Rodeš and 4th place at Winter Youth Olympics from Samuel Kolega (0.07 seconds behind bronze...).

 

And now we fill up the collection with 31st place, 0.03 outside of magic 30.

That sounds like the phrase "we will never win World Cup points again" is quite an exaggeration

Well, despite all that, we are effectively like Bolivia: still only 1 skier allowed and still no WYOG medal.
