heywoodu 13,609 Posted December 3, 2016 #283 Share Posted December 3, 2016 So how do we all like the new start number system so far with the best athletes in the first group, resulting in the competition being more or less decided after a few minutes? (I know Goggia/Stuhec/Kling was an exception yesterday, but normally I'd say most winners will have a much lower starting number than last season) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Frankly i don't pay attention to the starting order that much, but i guess it would be better to have the favourites more spread out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, I wonder if it's working Personally I'm watching the first 10 or so with big attention and the rest with less and less attention until I realize I missed 5 skiers in a row If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

dcro 10,189 Posted December 3, 2016 #287 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Well, this system is nothing new. Favourites used to be the first to start so they just brought back the historic system. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
