1) Womens super-g/downhill is a complete mess this season without Vonn/Fenninger/Gut in top shape. With Vonn, Fenninger, Gut and Weirather in top shape, Shiffrin never would have gotten close to a win. I really hope that those 4 share the 2 golds at the olympics: My dream would be 2 golds for Weirather or 1 gold for Weirather and one for Fenninger.

2) Another great result for Germany in a speed discipline, Dreßen is really becoming someone to be reckoned with. Germany has already one win (Ferstl in super-g), one third place (Dreßen in downhill) and now one 5th place, all of those results were completely unthinkable even 12 months ago. This is especially promising, because Dreßen still is relatively young (compared to Jansrud, Svindal, Feuz, Fill and so on).

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Miklos had pretty scary fall at the end. She misses the gate and seconds after she felt down hard at finish line. It looked like she was unconsciuos moments after. She injured her knee and was transported to hospital. Men's DH was kinda safe. Few falls, Kernern-S bites again. And also, as always, there was somebody with fall at last chicane. Skier with 59, I've forgot his name :d Videos tommorow after ladies' DH

Cool, first ever top 30 for the former WJC bronze medalist Elias Kolega. :d

 

This has probably secured his place on the Olympic team. Good luck!

I am really curious whom they will nominate 

currently it is 3 spots for 5 candidates 

probably it will be 4 spots. 

 

I think I would leave Natko home, but I think he is for sure in. Currently it looks bad for Rodes.

Well, 5th place is actually not that far behind 4th on the allocation list. And also we'll have to see what happens with those combined races. Only 2 best count for qualification, so a lot of potential for improvement next week.

 

But yeah, Natko should be the 5th I think.

    • got a bronze medal in baseball on the final day, which means  are the only NOCs to leave without single medal in the end.    It'll be a busy year for them though, so plenty more chances at the Central American and Caribbean Games and South American Games. 
    • it's great that some top regional talent took part too. It's a nice way to open up the outdoor season, honestly.
    • Federica Brignone with her new boyfriend   https://www.gazzetta.it/gossip/21-04-2026/federica-brignone-prima-uscita-pubblica-a-madrid-con-il-fidanzato-james-mbaye.shtml?intcmp=leggianche_free
    • Wrestling in the USA is strong thanks to its universities, but surprisingly, they are not very strong in judo. I wonder why?
    • Women's wrestling has been at the Olympics for first time in 2004, just like women`s boxing, so it used to be a men's sport on the all world, maybe without Japan. But Russia retains the culture of the former USSR, where women could always participate in almost all sports, unlike Iran under the ayatollahs, etc Sure, Russia has its various Islamic republics: Dagestan, Chechnya- but the 50 years of the USSR and its ideas and propagandas about life and sport still had a significant impact for people. However, the cradle of women's wrestling is and always has been Japan-, but judo has probably always been more popular there, so I'm sure a lot of talented girls go there, not wrestling.
    • Russia was never a super power in women's wrestling, they are just another decent team.   why ? that's simple. most of top Russian freestyle wrestlers are from Dagestan. probably 7-8 from the current team in Albania. and I assume in that region women are not encouraged to take this sport. if you remove Dagestan from Russia, their men's freestyle team will do more or less the same.   I'm not familiar with the Russian culture in general but I assume even nation-wide (and not only Dagestan) this is considered the men's sport.    of course in the World Championship those 3 teams you mentioned can go toe to toe with Russia or even do better. from this Russian team I only see Sadulaev to win the gold at worlds. (+ Sidakov if he returns and maybe Uguev depending on Japan's squad )   still the depth of Russian freestyle is unmatched. they can send their #5 guy and be still competitive for a top 6 finish, can't say the same about any other team.
    • In the women's, however, Russia took a strong beating from Ukraine, but surely there wasn't a all top-tier Russian girls here? Judo, in my opinion, is developing better and more countries are at the leading countries, than wrestling. Situation is slightly better in the world than in Europe, because we do have the USA, Japan and Iran. Unfortunately in Europe, this sport is a joke and is becoming a second table tennis, where people from other countries are naturalized and win medals for others, even though they have nothing in common with them.
    • You are rigth, i dont discuss that, Panama is "Colombia junior", and they have only one year for organize this event, a particular edition without doubt.
