I'm guessing this is podium number 714 for Moelgg and still no win? :p

The 12th, actually :p 

 

Reminds me of Hansdotter's 8 consecutive second places before finally taking a win.

more or less...

 

but it's all on ORF director...:evil::wall:

he did everything he could to boiycott her first WC success...first he showed the graphics saying she's never won a WC race before and then when she was at the start he went on with another graphics saying she would have been the oldest WC winner if she was to succeed...

and of course she only got third at the end of the day...:facepalm:

 

however, new season but old attitude by Bassino and, above all, Goggia...:wall:

their skiing IQ is really -2743...:facepalm:

Oh well, that's exactly what makes me like Goggia, because when she does get it right without DNF'ing, oh boy, that is spectacular :bowdown:

Even when she finishes she gets it wrong most of the time. :d  Didn't she lose a probable WCh gold in downhill (?) thanks to one silly mistake?

well, I also like her, too...

 

but frankly she's always too much on the edge...

now she's experienced enough to know that she should be able to find a reasonable balance between attacking at her best and avoiding excessive risks in the most dangerous corners of the course...

as @dcro wrote, she already missed out on quite a few top results because of her "all or nothing" attitude...

she has to realize that she's no longer a promising youngster...now she's one of the top racers in the world in at least 3 different disciplines, who's expected by fans, coaches and officials to capitalize on her talent and get some medals...

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
