basically, being the fastest in qualifying is the worst possible outcome for the actual competition...

 

that says it all on what a farce this race is...

no, it's about the lower bib starting always on the red course...the skiers can't choose where to run first...

Even worse 

But ... why did Liensberger start on the blue then ?

Well, that’s unfair. So the higher number has an advantage. In the past they could have choosen where they want to ski.

I already told you...it's a farce, but that's what FIS decided for this race...

 

at least we won't have anything like this in Beijing next year (still, we have the AC and the team event)...

She has the slower time in the qualification.

and Liensberger vs Bassino is the big final among the women...

 

medal for Italy!!!  

 

now the snow can start falling...

Actually the lower bib doesn't get to start on the blue first. Look at Liensberger here or Gstrein in the quarter ...

So what makes the difference when they are even ?

when they're tied, the fastest in the 2nd run goes through to the next round...
