The course (especially the upper part) start to be faster, better light but also more sun, does not look good for the 2nd run, expecting some lottery with huge advantage for skiers starting among first in the 2nd run

Look at Bassino and Vlhova. They will have an early start number in the second run.

Petra is bad in GS this season. but Bassino may very well do something epic in the 2nd run.

 

+ my personal hidden bet. Maryna Gasienica-Daniel to wrote some history today

Since when 20th in second run is "early" (in Vlhova's case). Besides if the course doesn't suit Bassino like people said it doesn't matter where she starts.

 

I feel like there could be some real outsiders in the late 20s who can't profit from the fresh course in 2nd run.

Americans must have insane material when one of their random no-names can compete for a medal. Shiffrin not being in too shape is very good for the competition. Italy must be the most disappointed nation at this event, crazy that a nation with one good athlete (USA) can win more medals than a nation with so many world-class athletes.

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

This is basically what they call the "North American ice" - a lot of firn or whatever that's called? I'm not surprised the US skiers are doing so well.

 

Others are having issues, our commentator basically said MF Holtmann can't ski on ice :p

 

Stjernesund 4,41 back. Guess Norwegian youngsters can't do shit on ice whatsoever.

Wow, Eurosport and the Eurosport Player are disappointing today....Australian Open semi on ES1, which is sad but understandable of course. However, snowboard cross live on ES2 (a regular World Cup) instead of the world championships, that's just nonsense.

 

"Right, at least there's the Player."

 

Nope, it was not live on the Player...not with and not without commentary, just a 40-minute broadcast that started 20 minutes ago or so and which will obviously only show the skiers we already see in the World Cup all the time, whereas events like this are extra cool because one can see those from 'exotic' nations. Not this time though.

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
