Finish turn has a disaster accident written all over it.

 

If the men are racing the same course, it is almost a given...

Yes it is the same course. Only numbers in the super g and the slalom will have a big opportunity.

and remember...in the slalom race it will be from 1st in the super-G to last...

 

so, the super-G winner will have a big advantage starting 1st on an easy & flat but very icy course...

 

and we're going to have all the hype (if there's any hype for this race) gone after 5 minutes...:facepalm:

I think we have to wait until number 14 Holdener, but with Shiffrin Vlhova and Gisin we have one of the TOP 5 Slalom ladies of this season at the beginning.

so, with all the big 3 (Shiffrin, Gisin, Vlhova) just a few hundreds behind, no chance for Brignone unless 1 of them goes out (which is highly unlikely)...:cry:

if the slalom course is what our broadcasters said, there's no chance for Holdener to make up more than half a second on the big 3 (and even 1 second on Brignone)...

You know that Vlhova, Gisin, Shiffrin and Holdener are at least 2-3 seconds faster than the best of the rest in the women’s slalom field. And Brignone is not the best of the rest so she will loose 3-4 seconds. Yes, we have only one run but it would be a big surprise if she looses less then one second to the best times in the slalom.

I am really excited to see the time differences between mens and womens on that Super-G piste, since it is the first time ever both genders will race on the same exact track.

 

Brignone time was 1:22.11

 

How many girls will beat mens ? :lol: war of sexes

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
