These might be the worst races I have ever seen.

 

Just kill completely *this* alpine combined, it's worse than the worst parallel garbage.

 

Only entertaining thing was seeing slalom ineptitude of so so so many racers.

I found them to be on par, if not more exciting than speed events (more exciting then men's downhill for sure). :p

 

As for the usual complaint about slalom skiers winning. Well... They are just really good in speed events as well. You really have to be good in both to stand a chance of a medal these days.

1) I won’t tell you what you should find entertaining, but are you sure that you meant men’s downhill and not men’s super G? I found men’s super g far less entertaining than men’s downhill. Also with everything I know about entertainment, I find it hard to believe that many people would agree with you. Thanks to the starting order in the combined, the whole suspense was basically gone after the first 5 or 6 racers and the rest was plain boring. Also when I look at the points in the prediction contest it looks as if the results were more predictable than in most speed races and usually less predictable results mean more entertainment.

 

2) Did you watch the men’s super g today? The course was a joke, it is no coincidence that someone like Schwarz looked so good today. I very much doubt that this is the usual level of difficulty for the speed part of a combined. I think the original idea of the combined is that both speed and slalom specialists have about the same likelihood of winning this event. When you look at the results of recent years that certainly wasn’t the case. Over the past few years slalom specialists (Shiffrin/Pinturault/Vlhova) did far better in speed World Cup races than the other way round, which indicates that it is easier for them to do well in speed events than the other way round. I think the solution to make it fairer would be to make the speed part longer/the slalom part shorter (time wise). I just looked at the results of the men’s combined at the last 2 Olympics and in 2014 when the speed part was 1:54 and the slalom part was 51 seconds the medalists were Viletta-Kostelic-Innerhofer. In 2018 when the speed part was 1:20 and the slalom part was 46 seconds the medalists were Hirscher-Pinturault-Muffat. I think the speed part should last roughly 2.5 times as Long as the slalom part.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

The amount of DNF both men & women today was ridiculous

 

Poor Italians, no medals and a fourth place so so distant; hopefully they will get some hardware for the parallel or the team event. Though Bassino will face inmense pressure individually as the big favourite for the GS, let's pray that italians win a medal before her performance.

 

Mikaela taking her sixth gold, 9th overall at World Championships. Today she looked so confident and poised. This sets her very well for the SL & GS. Though media is never satisfied, now talking about her 'medaling at every event' come on, let her enjoy the moment! is always talking about what's netx, records, wining streaks, just let her enjoy !!

 

Vlhova's attitude... well is not like she finished 4th twice like Ledecka or DNF like Brignone. ENJOY YOUR SILVER MEDAL GIRL!!

 

Bronze for the current olympic champ in the event, Gisin. Switzerland ladies still rolling taking medal at every event thus far.

 

Austria another gold with Marco Schwarz, just beating Pinturault and I think Marco will take the Slalom, have this feeling.

 

I did not like the start list order from 1st after Super G to the last.

The speed event should have been a downhill, not a Super-G. Changing this to a Super-G was simply an awful decision.

Starting the slalom in straight order made it even more appaling. Having the slalom in no reverse order might not be a bad idea, but you then need to have speed specialists in front, so you really, really need a downhill first.

This was garbage

Does anybody know how to watch qualies right now ? Vlhova out, our girls on top.

No, it seems to be a different slope than in the final, so maybe there a no cameras.

    • In my opinion, the maximum period in power should be 8 years. Next to, it's already too long, especially since Hungary's economy is much weaker than earlier. Just as Italy has too many changes of government, Orbán's 16 years in power is definitely too long for me. Perhaps only Erdogan and Putin have ruled in Europe longer, but those are semi-dictatorships.    In the USA, just about two weeks before the election, bookmakers were betting heavily on Trump, from what I remember good. They were more wrong in 2016 with Trump and Clinton – then, Clinton was expected to win clearly until the very end.
    • Fraud hopefully not, it's true that everyone says it will be like 50-50% as far as the winner is concerned. Hopefully the moron (ov) loses but honestly don't know what will happen.  My main concern is that it was said about the 2024 US election that it will be very close and then what happened... (I mean hopefully these opinion polls are more reliable than the American ones)
    • According to our bookmakers, Orban could lose after so long time, but I've read that there may be electoral fraud. What do you think?
    • Good to know there will be a women's hockey wch in Budapest this year. Admittedly I was out of the loop for many sports recently (only followed the winter sports world cup circuit prior to the Olympics and not everything from there even) According to Wikipedia the first day of the competition will be Election Day (12 April) Hopefully this will not be a bad omen for any of the teams involved.... 
    • This year, Italy will play against Slovakia in the women's hockey World Championships in Budapest in April. Who do you think will be the favorite?
    • Don´t want to speak about Slovak politics amigo. They all were, are and will be greedy, uneducated and corrupted bastards. Point.   Back to sport. We suck as hell, but we know it, However, that´s not a reason to not enjoy the Olympics, it is a once in a 4 years time holiday of sport 
    • You are easily in NBC´s medal Tally Top 10 mate. No worries 
    • In that time in Poland was ruled by a some center-right government with the support of liberals but a president was a post-communist. It seems to me that in Poland, the president has much more power than in Italy or Slovakia. Btw., during the Yanukovych era, Ukraine also wanted to organize the Winter Olympics in Lviv in 2022
