Sadly not, as they have declined it at the start for unspecified reasons. By far the largest team that isn't entered in the team event...

Yes, I saw that, really weird and sad.

@dcro any specific reason why we declined competing in team event?

No idea. Initially it seemed like they didn't want to keep Štimac in Korea for so long, seeing how there is a 10-days break between her last individual event and the team event. But now it doesn't make as much sense since Komšić and Zbašnik also qualified...

 

Pitty, while unlikely, team event was honestly our best medal chance.

Honestly, Croatia have chance of win a medal in alpine skiing?

Ok, not Hungary. Their 2nd women's FIS points are 120.

 

I don't think there was ever such a skier in any of the team events ever held.

I think that whit a lot (but A LOT ) of luck you have only one chance to win a medal in all the winter games. Filip Zubcic do two 8th place this year in dicember 2017 (giant slalom in Beaver Creek and the not-olympic pararell slalom). He is the only croatian that finish a WC Event in all winter sports in top 10, what the croatian media say about Filip?
