@hckosice What exactly was Adam's problem? You said everything hurt after his downhill, but did he have some injury already, or a crash or something?

In general, France has been pretty lucky. 3 DNF/DQs against Russia and tiny wins against both Sweden and Slovakia.

yeah thats a longer story He suffered a serious ankle injury during the summers pre-season training camp, the doctor said him that the only solution is a surgery, but he decided to try to compete this season and have the surgery right after the season, but he unfortunately got another foot injury during december in zagreb, but still he decided to fight, didn´t competed last few world cup races and focusing everything only for the worlds, he came to St.  Moritz but as you know had this big crash in the super G when he suffered another ankle injury (the second leg this time) and many other smaller hurts, he left the hospital just to compete for the team event, so he tried yesterday hw his foots will do in the combined but you saw how it turned out, 8 seconds behind and not even able to stand on his skis, he said he will see this morning if he can start inthe TE, but the pain was too strong

 

thats in short, hope it solved your question a bit

Vive la France! Team takes NTE gold

 

 

France earned its first medal at the 2017 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships today when the team of Tessa Worley, Mathieu Faivre, Alexis Pinturault, Julien Lizeroux, Nastasia Noens and Adeline Baud Mugnier earned the gold medal at the Nations Team Event in St. Moritz.

 

France edged surprise finalist Slovakia in the last round. The silver medal was the first-ever for Slovakia in a Nations Team Event and while it was a surprise to many, the Slovakian team was very strong and included Veronika Velez Zuzlova, Adam Zampa, Adreas Zampa, Tereza Jancova, Matej Falat and Petra Vlhova.

 

“I feel like we won the gold today,” said Velez Zuzulova after the race. “We have never won a medal, and I personally have never won a World Championship medal so I’m really happy with how we as a team did today and that we get to stand on the podium.”

 

Earning the bronze medal was Sweden, who faced-off against the host Swiss in the small final. The Swiss were looking for their seventh medal of these championships, but were cleanly swept by the Swedes, who are traditionally strong in the Nations Team Event. Today’s bronze was the country’s fifth medal in the event. They now have two silver medals and three bronze.

 

Every round produced at least one upset. In the first round, Slovakia set the tone, ousting Germany. In the second round, it was Sweden’s turn to provide the upset as they sent the Austrian team packing. Norway also fell to France in the second round, while the Slovaks continued to cruise, topping Italy.

 

In the semi-finals, Slovakia edged Switzerland in a tight duel, while the French edged the Swedes to make the finals.

 

“It was a challenge the whole day,” said France’s Tessa Worley. “We had to fight against Sweden in the semi-finals and also the final was pretty close. We didn’t know this morning what our chances were, so to take away the gold medal is great. We are all very happy.”

 

Today’s medals were the first for all three nations at this year’s World Championship, bringing the total number of nations to earn a medal so far to 10.

 

Tomorrow there are no races on the schedule at the World Championship as the technical skiers settle into St. Moritz and prepare to do battle in the giant slalom and slalom the last four days of the championships.

[hckošice 15,131]

Adam Žampa ended his season today, as expected, the doctors after controling him today immediately refused to allow him any other start in the next 4-5 months, poor guy he did everything to start in this WCh slalom, but unfortunately...

 

at least he got a medal
