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.

Theoretically they could make the Super-G on the women's slope I guess. The big problem are the downhill and the combined, since by the rules you need a downhill training on the slope before a race takes place. Said differently, if they decide to use the women's course for the men's downhill and combined there would have to be at least one more training run which would cost another day. 

 

Anyway, I read that, if the weather is bad, the organizers are willing to put the downhill start all the way down to the women's super-g start, because they somehow have to make a downhill run tomorrow. They are also willing to delay the downhill run up to 3 hours and would then make the evening. Important side note, if they really shorten the downhill, the slalom will fortunately be shortened too.

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?

Wow, that's new....that would suck so bad. Although a shortened downhill + slalom would barely be much better.

Both and for what that says.

 

All the advantage to the slalom specialists now I'd say?

Hello Hirscher.

Congrats to France! If they won't win gold here (Muffat-Jandet is probably the favorite), then they only have themselves to blame.

Exactly, although there are some (especially French and Swiss) challengers.

I see around 0 turns in that course
