Yep, completely destroyed course.

in Oberstdorf, they should  hire the Cortina snow crew...

 

despite those temperatures, they've been able to keep the tracks working perfectly (and yesterday's top time in the 2nd run by Liensberger and today's Vinatzer's 2nd time in the 1st run with no.17 are there to show that, before someone is going to say something)...

Having half the degrees helps

Apparently FIS does not agree with this (hence the unprecedented rule change on race day).

Another no name winning would be a cherry on top, though.

Yeah, let's be fair...I mean, a few in the medals, sure, but really no gold has gone to anyone that surprising. Faivre might not have been the favourite, but he's far from some random winner of course.

Switzerland in excellent position so far

it's not unprecedented...

 

however, what FIS thought yesterday before taking this decision is irrelevant...today's results (and all of the previous days' too) are there to show the great job of the snow crew, by far the MVP of the championships (because if we look at the organizers choosing the slopes and at FIS making the course design for the speed events and that farce named parallel slalom...well, they have been the true disaster of these 2 weeks)...

It is only 2.5% degrees less in fact, not half...

Unlikely. Top 15 gives WCSL points.
