Werloc 3,127 Posted February 16, 2017 #511 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I don't usually follow Alpine Skiing. May someone inform me on what happened to Sweden throughout the years? I remember they didn't have trouble getting medals, especially on the women's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have just not so good season this year, but Sweden is still strong in technical disciplines, Frida is among the biggest favorites in the womens slalom, Maria Pietilae-Holmner is also still in better and better form after her return from injury, the same among mens Myhrer and Hargin still have abilities to fight for medals. Don´t forget already won bronze in the team event thanks them ofc it´s not like the harvest during the Anja Persson era, but Sweden is still relatively very strong and is well doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,182 Posted February 16, 2017 #514 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Why do they even have qualification rules if they are not following them? 106 racers to start tomorrow in a race that had a limit of 100. Barbu gets to start with his DNF while and for example don't... Edited February 16, 2017 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Coletti starts and doesn't have a DNF, she might be able to overtake on course the Haitian skier with lower BiB.

She's born in Boskovice , but her mom moved to the Netherlands in the early 90's in a student exchange thing and didn't go back Also, her dad is Dutch So I don't think she ever switched federations, since she grew up in the Netherlands and is basically more Dutch than Czech when it comes to her entire life.
