It is.

 

GB in, Slovakia out (in the final analysis).

I was told this a few minutes ago.

 

"No Slovakian riders finished above 63rd so the Romanian rider had to finish 24th or better to move above them in the nation rankings releasing a place to Britain via the U23 2019 World Cup results"

Do the downhill commentators really never understand how certain things work?  

 

Athlete A has a great run, but makes a huge mistake somewhere which costs at least 2 seconds (but still he has the fastest time).

 

Athlete B closes in on the part where A made a huge mistake and is a second or so down, after this part he is nearly a second up. This is obvious, since A lost 2 seconds there and so it'd be weird if B did not make up a huge chunk of time. However, the commentators didn't see this coming at all: "HE'S A SECOND UP, HE HAS TURNED IT ALL AROUND!! UNBELIEVABLE, WHAT IS HE ON?1!!?!"  

 

I like the commentators in general, but this total screaming at perfectly obvious things comes across a little....dumb  

 

Anyhow, Troy Brosnan with the win in yesterday's downhill. He is B in this story, Thibaut Daprela was A  Amaury Pierron made a return after his broken back with a third place.

Agreed. This is so incredibly annyoing.

 

Another example is when someone makes up a lot of time towards the end, and takes the lead, they keep repeating "A lot of time can be made down below!!", even though the leading splits are now completely different...
