Second world cup win for Dreßen and still no victory for Svindal at his home world cup! :yikes:

Dreßen is now 3rd in the downhill world cup, only the 2nd time in world cup history that a german is top 3 in this discipline (the other time was in 1967)! :yikes:

The last time that a german was in top 3 in downhill/super-g was Markus Wasmeier in 1988.

I think this is the first time ever that a german won 2 downhill races in one season ...

 

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

Aaaaaaaaarg, god damnit, how did the Austrians f*ck this race up so badly. Both franz and mayer had superb 2nd split times but on the section where everyone gains time on jansrud one misses a gate the other one loses 5 tenths (as a comparison, he lost 9 tenths on theaux and he didn't even make a big mistake, he just skied bad). There are two Austrians who could have won this but instead we don't even have a podium (which reichelt missed by two hundreds btw)

    • 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
