Not quite. Zyla takes gold!

 

Poland beats Germany... in Germany

Maybe you should talk to a therapist ... ?

Nope. Zyla is an even bigger fluke world champion than Kubacki. 

 

Obviously not. Everyone had wind in the back in the second round today.

 

Nobody takes Zyla seriously because of his Abbott & Costello antics off the hill but he just delivered a perfect kick in the teeth right there

Why? Poland has more gold medals than Germany. That's the perfect therapy

Completely random result. Another fluke medal for Slovenia. After this season the 3 medals should have gone to Norway, Poland and Germany. After the trainings I thought that Norway might even sweep this  ...

Surprising to see that Norway hasn’t won a medal at the last FIVE individual competitions at worlds (since 2015).

What happened to you? Did a German beat you up when you tried to steal his bike?

Everything evens out. The fluke gold medals Norway won with Rune Velta or Lars Bystoel at the Olympics shouldn't be forgotten. I mean Velta never won a single World Cup event and Bystoel only one

Interesting that Germany currently has exactly the same medal statistic (1 silver) in the Olympic events as they had 2 years ago.

[OlympicsFan 783]

Based on the individual events, the result in the mixed team should be:

1) Slovenia

2) Norway

3) Austria

4) Japan

5) Germany

I think anything but the first 3 winning the medals would be a surprise at this point.

 

I think World class female athletes are clearly more „valuable“ in the mixed team, since there are far less of them, which is pretty obvious when looking at the gaps in the individual competitions. In the men’s competition the gap between first and 5th was 11.7 points, between first and 10th it was 17.6 points and between first and 15th it was 22.8 points. On the women’s side it was 22.1 points between first and 5th, 37.8 points between first and 10th and 50.3 points between first and 15th. Nations with two world class men and two average women are clearly at an disadvantage compared to nations with two world class women and two average men, not sure if this is fair ...

Wow, amazing, just took time to watch competition. Great job Anže, well deserved medal.

 

He comes from Mengeš, that is where Rok Benkovič also lives. (World champion on normal hill in Oberstdorf 2005.)
