The problem in the race today was, that the slope was that much faster at the higher Numbers. I don’t think Strassers performance had anything to do with bad conditions, he just reversed back to his normal level after 2 or 3 amazing performances. I wonder if he did anything differently when he made those two podiums. Very hard to believe that it was just „luck“. As a fan I take a medal in downhill any day over a medal in slalom. Downhill is just more interesting and more competitive. I hope that Germany will continue doing great in speed events, even if it means doing worse in (giant) slalom.

Laurie Taylor getting Top 5 with Bib 41 would be ultimate kick in the teeth for FIS. What a joke this is (and yeah, I remember the old days like when Tomba went from 15th to 2nd in Lillehammer OG when reversing Top 15 was still the norm). I think this way it is more fair for the medal contenders, but obviously it is very unfair for the athlete who was 16th for example. The best solution probably would be the following: First run: No changes Second run: Highest bib goes first (no matter how he is ranked after the first run) Obviously this would be very confusing and anticlimatic.

Monzanator 3,610 Posted February 21, 2021 #756 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Croatia better than Slovenia. I guess that's all that matters for these two countries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,573 Posted February 21, 2021 #760 Share Posted February 21, 2021 "Chasing first podium of the season" They really need to write that for every single one of the 100 athletes on the start list who doesn't have a podium yet, including those from Timor-Leste and such.
