Vidović

[heywoodu 15,135]

[hckošice 14,821]

Some US dude into top 10, Vidovič out of top 15

 

very good idea to put only 15 in the 2nd round, look some early darwin award candidate here

Accidentally I thought this was some Jett reference. Apparenty not.

Easy gold for Kryzl in the new, urban event of 13 seconds slalom.

Once again shows that you can’t really take the results in technical disciplines at world champs seriously, especially outside the top 10. The US had one 19th place as the best result of the season and now they have two in the top 15 ...

 

Germany had a great start, but the last 4 events have been bad, Schmid threw away a 5th medal for Germany. I guess Strasser got back to his normal level, would be interesting to know what he did differently during his amazing run.

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.

Yes, not a random winner ...

He is 18th in the giant slalom World Cup and his results this season were 26th, 8th, 20th, 16th, 17th and 15th.

Strasser had so many mistakes today ... The problem in the race today was, that the slope was that much faster at the higher Numbers.

Terrible decision to reverse Top 15 only. 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).
