Just in case that someone from FIS is reading this, do not put some weird intermediate sprints in that mass start. :lol:

:rofl:

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

German coach on TV: "The winners are the deserved winners, because they were the fastest."

 

And that's how it is :p 

 

Exactly. Even though I'm not sure today's results represent so well who the most complete skiers in downhill and slalom combined are.

 

Starting order is the issue here. But if you don't reverse the top 30 for slalom, folks would switch their TVs off after 10 skiers.

 

Doing slalom first could be the solution here. You'd have all the top combi skiers starting early in the slalom, then the downhill is pretty neutral in terms of start numbers.

Klaudia Nemcová 26th in the GS qualification, thats what I call heartbreaking :(

 

Looks like our teams will meet in the First Round of the Team Event. Is Slovakia competing with Vlhova und Velez-Zuzulova? If so,  it might be a 50:50 race with your women and our men being the favourites in their runs.

Swiss strike again: Aerni golden in combined

2Q==

 

The Swiss had another amazing day at the 2017 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships after Luca Aerni earned the alpine combined gold medal. His teammate Mauro Caviezel took home the bronze medal, bringing the medal tally for the host nation to six in as many races.

 

Aerni, who was named as the last Swiss racer for the alpine combined team just last night, finished in 30th place in the downhill run, making him the first starter for the slalom run. He clocked the fastest time of the day in the slalom, although did not know if his run would hold off the top names like Marcel Hirscher and Alexis Pinturault and had to sit through the entire field waiting in the leader box.

 

But one-by-one his competition came down and could not best the young Swiss ace. Hirscher missed the mark by the smallest of all possible margins, 0.01 seconds, taking home the silver medal. Swiss teammate Mauro Caviezel, meanwhile, also came very close, ending just 0.06 seconds off the golden pace for the bronze.

 

“I was really nervous the last 45 minutes waiting for everyone to finish," said Aerni. "I could only watch and hope as the others came down. I knew my slalom run was good, but with the combined you never know what will happen. It was definitely a long wait until I realized I had the gold medal."

 

Romed Baumann (AUT) held the lead after the downhill run, 0.12 ahead of Frenchman Adrien Theaux. Most of the traditional slalom skiers sat more than a second off the pace after the downhill run. The best speed racers were Dominik Paris and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who tied for fourth place 0.40 seconds behind.

 

The three medalists were also the three racers with the best slalom times. Hirscher was 28th after the downhill and Caviezel was 14th.

It was the first medal for both of the Swiss skiers, who also both have never earned a podium place in the World Cup. It was Hirscher’s fifth career World Championship medal, as he now has three silvers and two golds.

 

Tomorrow is Nations Team Event, which begins at 12:00 CET. It is sure to be of great interest to the public with the event newly added to the Olympic programme for the 2018 PyeongChang Games.

    • Team Challenge   The theme for this years team challenge will be counties in the UK. For equal representation, I have selected at least 1 county for each of the 4 main countries that make up the UK. The 7 selected counties where drawn into each of the 7 teams.    The draw result:      Here is a little factfile on each of the 7 counties:    Team Merseyside Rank # Total 0 0 0 0 0 0   Merseyside is an English county located in the North West region of the UK. It's biggest settlements include Liverpool, Southport St Helens and Birkenhead. Merseyside is know for it's music and sport, with bands like The Beatles and The Coral and clubs like Everton and Liverpool all coming from the county.     
    • Team Challenge   For this years team challenge every country will be split up into 7 groups of 5. Now if  don't have to be withdrawn then every team members points will count, but if they do then only the top 4 team members results. After 10 votes the team with the least amount of points is eliminated, after that a team will be eliminated after every 5 votes.    The teams were drawn automatically using a random draw generator. All the countries were split into 5 different pots based off the all time ranking medals list followed by the participations list.     Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4 Pot 5 France New Zealand China Argentina Albania Canada Czech Republic Hungary Bulgaria Chile Great Britain Denmark Malta Tunisia Guatemala Ireland Lithuania Mexico Greece Indonesia Italy Serbia Brazil India Turkey Netherlands Spain Romania Poland Moldova Sweden United States Slovenia Slovenia Portugal   The Draw Results:     
    • In terms of the first table, there were 2 clubs missing that are/could be apart of the Professional/Semi Professional English League system.    The first are the Wigan Warriors (club logo above), they play in Super League (1st Division) and are the defending back to back Super League champions. Not quite sure how I forgot to add them, but somehow I did.    The second are the Bedford Tigers (club logo above). They originally weren't set to join the system from non league but there are strong rumours that they are now set to join League 1 (3rd Division), replacing the aforementioned Cornwall.
