2nd place for Italy is great, but I'm worried about Lisa's weak run on skies in the last stage, and without a fast run there will be no individual medals in Cortina In normal form, Vittozzi shouldn't lose more than 10 seconds to the Norwegian on the last split from the shooting range to the finish line. Perhaps Lisa has had some hard training - she missed the stage in Oberhot and that's why her form in the run on skies is a bit weaker? -

First of all in: Big Air, Slopestyle etc. are disciplines where judges decide the results 100% and this is bad. The average person, when they turn it on during the Olympics, has no idea why someone is 1st or 3rd, but when he turn on alpine snowboarding, he see who finished 1st and who 2nd. -

I wish our TV had such a good reason to show SB too -

On the other hand, why bother with snowboardcross, which only has 1 or 2 World Cup appearances in a single season before OG, due to a lack of sufficient route? For me, it's also a dead sport, just like Nordic combined has been for some time now, with many World Cup races being canceled. For today, I would prefer team competitions in alpine snowboarding to snowboardcross, if only because in this first there are regular World Cup competitions every 1-2 weeks, and not 1-2 for the entire season. -

not anymore... now Czech TV shows mainly alpine SB because of Ledecka and now also the young rising star Maderova -
AIN athletes qualification for Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Games and possible reallocation of quotasI understand )) It is a shame that these reallocations in FIS disciplines may happen too late. As far as I know FIL had consultations wirth the IOC and quickly removed 3 incorrect AIN`s after that. I do not know if FIS did the same but it looks like they did not. Since we see a lot of AIN statuses for people who do not meet the requirements. Thus some reallocations may come only after the AINERP review. I can say nothing on Zueva right now. She is not cleared by the IOC yet, by the way. But Belorussians (or at least rrepresenting Belarus now) behave lin different way. Russians on the other hand prefer to show loyoalty to the regime since it provide them with substential benefits and positions in local administrations and parliaments.

I would say it highly depends on the traditions of some disciplines in certain countries. Our national sport TV boradcated Aerials live last season. Czech Reuplic has it in the prime-time of its national sports channel as far as I know. Yes Valenta won his gold more then 20 years ago but it does not matter.

Alpine snowboard is by far the most shown discipline on Eurosport/Discovery in Europe. If it's not clashing with a bunch of other things, they are showing the WC starts live. Snowboard cross would be the next in line and they are showing starts, but they are fewer and if it's head to head with alpine, alpine will get the advantage. Halfpipe is occasionally shown and it's usually only some of the NA rounds, when it's the evening here and all other winter sports stuff is over. And they are not showing snooker, golf, cycling etc. Big Air / Slopestyle is practically non-existent, never shown, unless it's some weird BA in November in the middle of nothing. And it's the same picture in the Freestyle skiing. Ski cross is the most shown and probably has more races televised, than all other disciplines combined. Halfpipe is so-so from the rest, with BA & Slopestyle non-existent again. Moguls & Aerials are dead, at least i can't remember Eurosport showing their WC events on TV. This just shows the complete division between Europe and North America. I don't think there is a single European country which prefers airing (or training) the technical disciplines than the racing ones. Which is the complete opposite than what it has been in NA. -

Team Event I have come up with a quick team competition to allow me time to organise it in the short amount of time I have between now and the Grand Final. I will come up with some names for each team in the coming day (hopefully ). Nations will be divided into 10 teams of 3 and 1 team of 4, making 11 teams in total. For the team of 4, one of those nations will sit on the bench for each of the 4 sessions meaning only the scores of the other 3 nations of that team will count towards the team competition for that particular session. (Canada will sit on the bench in session 1, Denmark will sit on the bench in session 2, China in session 3 and Mexico in session 4). Teams were assigned based on voting position to help distribute when each team has a voting member as evenly as possible between each session. The team event will be an elimination-based event where the scores of the team members will be accumulated for that session or quarter and the teams with the lowest combined score will be eliminated and play no further part. Scores will be reset to zero after each quarter but in the event of a tie-break, the team with the highest ranking in the previous session will win the tie-breaker. In the event of a tie in the first round, all teams involved in the tie will be advanced to the next round. See details below about how many teams will be eliminated after each quarter 1st Quarter: 11 teams Top 9 teams advance to next round 2nd Quarter: 9 teams Top 7 teams advance to next round 3rd Quarter: 7 teams Top 5 teams advance to Final 4th Quarter: 5 teams No elimination Q1 Pts Q2 Pts Q3 Pts Q4 Pts 1 Team 1 0 0 0 0 2 Team 2 0 0 0 0 3 Team 3 0 0 0 0 4 Team 4 0 0 0 0 5 Team 5 0 0 0 0 6 Team 6 0 0 0 0 7 Team 7 0 0 0 0 8 Team 8 0 0 0 0 9 Team 9 0 0 0 0 10 Team 10 0 0 0 0 11 Team 11 0 0 0 0
