Lemoine and Konovalovas are not victims of that idiot lady, they were involved in that crash at 5-6km before the finish. I'd like to blame most of the world's misery on that dumbass woman, but let's b

He's still down.  I hope he's alright, but that was totally his fault from what it looks like

Can't see, if he bumped into Merlier first, which triggered the fall into Sagan, or if he just didn't have space to move and f'ed the situation.

Ewan the moron :facepalm:

Often, but actually not this time. Merlier 'caused' it, although not at all due to his own fault. That corner being there in the first place is a scandal by itself.

Merlier stood up to sprint, which makes you slow down for a fraction of a second. Ewan was of course right on his wheel, as he as a sprinter should, but he then hit Merlier's back wheel when Merlier stood up (and thus slowed down a tiny bit).

 

Nobody's fault, really, but highly unfortunate for Ewan and Sagan.

yeah he hit Merlier´s wheel which sadly subsequently ended by that crash of both Ewan and Sagan. Definitely not his fault, but knowing ASO I assume they will find a way to DSQ Sagan, remove all his points and etc...

Yea, as I look at it again, more an unfortunate matter of that last kink in the road and Ewan not anticipating how little room there was going to up against the barriers

      Yeah,I said before Xmas that when the  women lose a superstar someone always comes through who responds to the best coaches & slowly gains the confidence to win the big races.  Looks like she has arrived just in time

      2nd place for Italy is great, but I'm worried about Lisa's weak run on skies in the last stage, and without a fast run there will be no individual medals in Cortina In normal form, Vittozzi shouldn't lose more than 10 seconds to the Norwegian on the last split from the shooting range to the finish line. Perhaps Lisa has had some hard training - she missed the stage in Oberhot and that's why her form in the run on skies is a bit weaker?

      First of all in: Big Air, Slopestyle etc. are disciplines where judges decide the results 100% and this is bad. The average person, when they turn it on during the Olympics, has no idea why someone is 1st or 3rd, but when he turn on alpine snowboarding, he see who finished 1st and who 2nd.

      On the other hand, why bother with snowboardcross, which only has 1 or 2 World Cup appearances in a single season before OG, due to a lack of sufficient route? For me, it's also a dead sport, just like Nordic combined has been for some time now, with many World Cup races being canceled. For today, I would prefer team competitions in alpine snowboarding to snowboardcross, if only because in this first there are regular World Cup competitions every 1-2 weeks, and not 1-2 for the entire season.

      AIN athletes qualification for Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Games and possible reallocation of quotas

      By avlar · Posted

      I understand )) It is a shame that these reallocations in FIS disciplines may happen too late.   As far as I know FIL had consultations wirth the IOC and quickly removed 3 incorrect AIN`s after that. I do not know if FIS did the same but it looks like they did not. Since we see a lot of AIN statuses for people who do not meet the requirements. Thus some reallocations may come only after the AINERP review. I can say nothing on Zueva right now. She is not cleared by the IOC yet, by the way. But Belorussians (or at least rrepresenting Belarus now) behave lin different way. Russians on the other hand prefer to show loyoalty to the regime since it provide them with substential benefits and positions in local administrations and parliaments.

      I would say it highly depends on the traditions of some disciplines in certain countries.   Our national sport TV boradcated Aerials live last season. Czech Reuplic has it in the prime-time of its national sports channel as far as I know. Yes Valenta won his gold more then 20 years ago but it does not matter.
