Wait, so if weather hypothetically remains bad through Friday, it's possible that none of the men's speed events will be held just like that? :yikes:

Yes.

 

Which is why as the week goes on they will be more and more willing to hold the races in bad weather.

Imagine the surprise for all those users who have set the alarms to 3 AM for nothing.

We'll have to wait and see, but I doubt anyone will be able to defeat the Icelanders in fraud and bigfoot competitions (Google Translate).

yes, if they don't close both eyes on the rules and reschedule all of the alpine skiing events through the remaining 8/9 days, which is improbable, to say the least...

however, if we can't have at least 2 of the 3 men's speed events by Friday, it's almost certain that the full program won't be completed...

And what rule is that the speed events must end by friday?

 

And why the IOC and/or the organizers should care that much about to the point of not staging some races ?

it's because the course has to be set for the women's speed events (they have to make it half the days for men and half for women)...:evil:

that's why normally there are 2 different track in 2 different locations for men and women...but in Korea they don't have another hill high enough to build a downhill size track...so, they have to share the same course for both genders...

and this is the result of that...:facepalm:

Either way,future for alpine skiing on these games isnt bright at all. With these bad conditions and possible cancelations we would have precedent. Still cant believe we could have DNC under downhill races. Also,with shortening of the course we would have strange races,as we already had in WC few times. I hope that somehow situation will improve,i really had high hopes in alpine skiing.

Also,even its hard to fight nature,i am surprised that Korea didnt establish plan B for such kind of situation.

Well if that is the case and there is no other option, they could have both genders run on the womens course. It would be something afterall, instead of not having a downhill or SG at all.

I hope alpine skiing is held today or else my Olympic day ends at ~6:30pm, maybe I can go to bed super early and wake up at 3am, but then I'd have to decide between curling finals, a potential medal in luge or short track speed skating.

      Czech Euroeport commentator: wow I see there only 9 pairs starting, Korea probably thought they have no chances and decided to not send a pair here, what a dumb move   omfg... I know for being a sport announcer you not need any special requirements, but I think having some basic infos about the event you are going to comment should be fine to have at least

      Don't know if other nations' media have picked this up, but here in  the aerodynamics of ski jumping are a question.of fascination.  Or one particular aspect of it.   The World Anti-Doping Agency could investigate if evidence emerges that male ski jumpers are injecting their penises in a bid to improve sporting performance.   In January, German newspaper Bild, external reported that jumpers were injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid before being measured for their suits     https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/czej70jyg4eo
