Quasit 849 Posted February 8, 2019 #161 Share Posted February 8, 2019 You guys just aren't reading properly. The results show "Hadali" so it can't be the same person, right. Spoiler At least Slovenian/Slovakian flags and codes are all correct. Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunadan 1,103 Posted February 8, 2019 #163 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Hannes Reichelt didn't attend the Bib choice despite being in the top 10 of the WCSL...so he will apparently start as 45th tomorrow.

dcro 10,172 Posted February 8, 2019 #164 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I wonder if weather should be better in the second part of the day. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,569 Posted February 8, 2019 #165 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Good thing the combined is gone. Another Super G course bullshit for this event. Siebenhofer probably lost a medal because of this, she did much better than expected in the slalom. This event is so favoring the technical skiers it's broderline criminal. Good riddance and thumbs up for Shiffrin & Hirscher ignoring it. The proper way to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, the problem is not with the existence of a combined event, which should be there in my opinion, but with the way the courses are currently set up.

dcro 10,172 Posted February 8, 2019 #167 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I think the main problem is that FIS itself doesn't want combined. It's strange how a federation itself wants to remove an Olympic event, but they've been progressively doing that season after season, with combined now being barely in the WC calendar.

dcro 10,172 Posted February 8, 2019 #168 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Natko Zrnčić-Dim injured his back at today's 50 seconds long downhill training, so he will skip tomorrow's race. Participation in the last ever combined Monday is still possible. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigs 68 Posted February 8, 2019 #169 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The combined only works well when there are allrounders who easily beat the specialists but right now there are very few of those (shiffrin and gisin come to mind on the women's side but both didn't participate today, while there isn't really anyone on the men's side). It's hard to say whether the combined is dying due to a lack of allrounders or if there are no allrounders because there are hardly any combineds nowadays and if there is one it's usually a castrated super-g combined where the slalom specialists are basically unbeatable. I really wish the fis would keep the combined alive just a little longer as it could be crucial in the overall world cup battle once Hirscher isn't around anymore and that could suddenly make the event much more attractive to the Pinturaults, kriechmayers and kildes of the world.

Kirkpatrick 144 Posted February 9, 2019 #170 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Men's Downhill starts at 12:30 (CET) from reserve start (Super-G) Tomorrow's weather looks to be better, so, some people hope that today's downhill is postponed until then. If it'll run the entire course, I'm one of them. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
