Tomorrow Veronika Velez-Zuzulová will compete for the last time in her career in a World Cup race. 

She will participate in two other races this February at the Olympics (Slalom and Team Event) and will very likely end her great career :(

 

Due long injury she unfortunately lost her place in the top 7 start list, so she will wear BIB 15 tomorrow, she announced that she doesn´t have great expectations about the result tomorrow, it´s already a miracle and huge highly respectable success that she is even able to compete. As she said "I am prepared for something around 80 % right now, but I´ll have 2 more weeks to be ready at best possible for probably my last individual careers race in PyeongChang´s Slalom on that St. Valentine´s day when the Slalom is scheduled."

 

this huge smile tonight during the BIB draw ceremony in Lenzerheide, when you know that you just did everything (almost the impossible) to compete at the Olympics only 4 months after so severe knee injury and surgery. Bravo Veronika, respect, what a fighter she is !

Wait until she beats Vlhova for the gold in Pyeongchang :evil:

 

a tied 1st place between them should be fine for me too :d

 

Spoiler

impossible ofc..but one of my secret wishes is they will medal together in the last Olympic Saturday, when Veronika will compete for the very last time, it may be one unforgettable emotional day if happen to repeat what they did last world championships...

btw looks we will have the same bracket...again 1st round vs Germany

    • It's true, but Colturi still only 1 person and for example in the men's slalom we have tragic results. In giant slalom again we last won many years ago. For example, Switzerland has a complete team, which has not only stars but also wide teams in every discipline + young successors.   Scattolo is an option after 2026. For now, all that remains is to count on Vittozzi's return - apart from her, no one is able to regularly stand on the podium.
    • That was the IBU Cup winner spot, guaranteed for the first two weeks (won by Michelon last year). Galmace Paulin will definitely not get a spot in January. If someone has to be demoted, it would be Chauveau, to make room for Botet. Galmace Paulin is like 5th or 6th in the pecking order at the moment.
    • Maybe Galmace Paulin can take The Spot of Richard, Michelon or Chauveau later this season. In Hochfilzen France Had 7 Spots, not sure What happened. If The french Team can get Back that Spot, then Galmace Paulin should be The First candidate.   Tannheimer, Michelon, Richard, Kirkeeide and Andersson are all more likely than Not To make The Podium this Season in my opinion. With a bit of luck, half The Top 10 in The Overall Ranking at The end of The Season could be athletes born in 2002 or later.
    • Biathlon: I think your Coaches should promote Scattolo.  Alpine skiing: Things Would Look very different if Colturi would Compete for You.  
    • It also appears 1 noc has withdrawn   https://oca.asia/news/5781-harbin-2025-awg-organisers-confirm-record-number-of-entries.html
    • If my figures are correct, I confirm that this is the international debut in top-level competition for Turkmenistan, Kuwait and Thailand. i believe it is also the debut in a senior competition for Mongolia
    • The Youth Olympic Games have used the group format before due to a large number of entries. The 2023 Winter EYOF also used a two group format in the mixed team event.   Still, it's cool to see so many nations registered for the Asian Winter Games. 
    • Stage 10 in Alta Badia (ITA)   Men´s Slalom:   1. Timon Haugan    1:45.40 2. Loic Meillard    1:46.53 3. Atle Lie McGrath    1:46.66   Full Final Results HERE
