Her strategy is to not fall to finish ahead of anyone who has two falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bohemia 1,259 Posted February 19, 2018 #325 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Ophélie David injured herself during a training session so she won't compete in women's skicross https://www.lequipe.fr/Skicross/Actualites/Jo-2018-ophelie-david-se-blesse-gravement-au-genou-a-l-entrainement/877372 (sorry, couldn't find an article in English) She's always been unlucky at the Winter Games... How does it work though? Is there just gonna be one less athlete competing in the heats? orangeman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allowing countries to send a maximum of 40 athletes rather than 30 But of course we can’t have that, would be a tragedy if Hungary couldn’t get the fifth realocation. Indeed, it would be tragedy as I probably wouldn't have watched it. I mainly watched the qualification to see the Danish and the Hungarian skier... And btw, half of the performances there were downright depressing, with many athletes not being able to get above halfpipe even if their life depends on it. Main problem seems to be in the event. Swaney was just smart. Edited February 19, 2018 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it work though? Is there just gonna be one less athlete competing in the heats? It’s too bad ski cross wasn’t at the Olympics in 2006 when David and Kraus where at the height of their dominance. I believe if Framce has an alternare on site they can compete, otherwise there will just be one less athlete (we are already down to 26 from 32 due to declined quotas).
