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...

    • France out , the first time in 20 years 
    • I think the Dutch men (especially in long distances) are simply not good enough. We've been leaders in long distances for decades, but we've always had great talents like De Jong, Romme, Bergsma, Kramer, and Roest. They're not around right now, so we're focusing more on short distances, but there's a certain Stolz who reigns supreme.   What I've noticed is that many newcomers (Jilek, Lubineaud etc) originally come from inline skating. The Netherlands should look into that too. We also need to be open to new training methods, like those of the Swede Nils Svensson, who won two gold medals in Beijing with a unique training regime.   Good luck with Ghiotto, I will definitely cheer for him: such a friendly person and a beautiful skater. He really deserves a gold medal.

    • If that draw seemed a surprise for us, what should we say about their last 2 matches, wins against City and Atletico Ok, with City is somehow understandable due tu low temperatures in Norway, but last night they won in Madrid against Atletico...unbelivable
    • First look at the ski jumping Olympic venue
    • I like the new format, goal here or there can change the full table standing. great night yesterday.

    • The all Dutch men seemed out of form in Inzell. Could this mean some intense strength training during this period? Overall, I think that, the progress in the men's long-distance events has been incredible since last year and I have the impression that both Ghiotto and the Netherlands team haven't caught on to some new equipment updates? The times achieved this season by: Eitrem, Jilek, Lubinaud, Semyrunyyi and Davson are incredible in terms of time progress year by year. But considering the financial potential of the Netherlands, I'm surprised they could have to by left behind technologically? Unfortunately, this doesn't surprise me in Italy's case, as we don't even have a single indoor track to test our technological innovations – the one in Milan is currently inaccessible even to the hosts. Of course, if Italy were a normal country, who supported their own athletes, the track in Milan should have been available only for the Italian team for many months ago, where would be testing various innovations there, but unfortunately that is not the case, because we live where we live
