This parallel snowaboard is totally low-hanging fruit, Joerg & Dujmovits in the mid-30s, Riegler in her late 40s. It's hilarious that the much-maligned Russia is one nation that actually has found

The one run format continues to be a joke.

once again, the qualification results proved to be the true decider...

 

the blue course, in fact, was a lot faster than the red one in the last 3/4 gates and basically helped almost all the riders coming down that side of the slope...

 

still, the great R-Fisch, "captain Fisch" (age 41 in a few months), almost managed to upset Loginov in the final run, losing only by 0.01 seconds...

 

fun fact...in the previous world champs, Loginov vs Fischnaller was the gold medal run in PSL (and Loginov won also in 2019)...:facepalm:

Same for the men, two youngest prospects come from Russia, the rest is basically over 30 yo, Fischnaller and Prommegger probably won't retire before they hit 50 at this rate and why should they. There is zero competition in this sport.

Yes, the two German grandmas Ramona Hofmeister (born in 1996, first in World Cup) and Cheyenne Loch (born in 1994, 3rd in World Cup) are about to retire as well.

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

I just made a point that nobody will retire anytime soon. Joerg has like 10 years on the tour left and Hofmeister & Loch probably 15.

Okay and the fact that nobody will retire anytime soon is bad because? Also impressive that you know about the future planning of all of those women.

It's not about retirement, it's about lack of competition. The fact Riegler, Pommegger, or Fischnaller are still active and in contention for medals at age 40+ tells me in ten years time Joerg and Hofmeister will be in the same bout. Hell, Dujmovits took two years off and she's back on the WC podum like she never retired to begin with.

 

The youth charge happens in other aspects of freestyle skiing, slopestyle, big air and all those events. Parallel slalom has to have the highest average age of competitors involved. This is like the geriatric home for seniors. And since those bad Russians are the only ones with some fresh talent this event will be willified by FIS and IOC for a little while yet.

      Perhaps CAS proper? Not sure, it's not my world. Would have hoped her lawyers and the USOPC would have though.  Though, even if it didn't stop there, apparently she was still asking for an "extra" spot, which isn't in CAS AH's jurisdiction either... as it wasn't in the IBSF's tribunals before that... Ultimately it was an internal USABS issue, and I'm sure they have some domestic mediation established to decide on such things, and failing that, then take them to CAS... but her team went barking up every tree but that.  To be honest, I really wonder whether she was even trying to win and wasn't just using it as a big PR stunt

      Think for the relay teams can call up a replacement.  One of the people from the European Cup yesterday will get lucky.

      UWW announced they are going to review the ranking points allocation. we will see if they come up with something good. the current system is terrible terrible and unfair. they also made few other little changes to make the ranking more relevant    I gave it a little thought, something like 50-55 NOCs will qualify at least one wrestlers before the last chance qualifier. they won't be allowed to participate in this event. we usually have something like 60-70 countries in a World Championships, around 80-90 the year before the Olympics.   NOCs without quota can send max 2 wrestlers to the last tournament. by my count something like 30-40 NOCs with active wrestling program will be left without a quota. if all of them send 2 wrestlers we will have 70-80 wrestlers across 18 events. that's average of 3 or 4 wrestlers per event. we may end up with only 1 wrestler in some events.     I don't know maybe this isn't that bad. this will encourage some weaker non-active countries to take the last chance qualifier seriously. everybody has a chance there. it will be a super weak event. unless countries start buying Russian mercenaries    also there is a loophole here. if you are a NOC with 2 good/solid wrestlers, it's better if both of them fail to qualify, therefore you can have two near 100% chances in the last event. but if one of them qualifies earlier the other one is out of the Olympics already.

      Well.. that's a bummer not only for the athlete, but for Italia's chances in the women's relay.

      Ah yes...I see cycling is just out of order alphabetically.  Also, interestingly they're calling it just 'Climbing', not 'Sport Climbing' on this page.   I edited my original list.

      Interesting that this wasn't a matter of 'he was right' or 'she was right'...rather 'Sorry, if something had happened four days later, we would have had jurisdiction'.  (So who did have jurisdiction?)

Presumably, finally putting an end to this farce.

      lower the WR to 4.02:808 in the final.  That would have been the men's WR between 1993-1996.

      That’s because 2 times Olympic champion, Swimming, doesnmt want to be overshadowed.

      Sport Climbing Speed reduced the World Championship quota down to 1 per gender and increased the Olympic Qualifier Series to 6. Also the Pan American and European qualifiers will take priority over the World Championships because they will occur first.   Bouldering and Lead are now separate events and were given additional athlete quotas (taken from Modern Pentathlon) giving them 12 per gender. They follow the same qualification process as Speed, but with the Olympic Qualifier Series offering only 4 quotas. Additionally, athletes qualified in one event may compete in the other provided the NOC doesn't go above two athletes per event.   Currently this cross participation doesn't apply to Speed, but I'm not sure it was a mistake or intended. Though not many speed athletes are top lead/bouldering athletes.
