6 DNFs so far - 5 of them from

4 DNF in 9 skiers. At this rate Kolega might still get a Top 20 @dcro Make that 5 DNF in 10 skiers.
-
Samuel Kolega only wanted to finish that 2nd run. 2,87 behind Maurberger
-
Alize Cornet wins on her 32nd birthday and advances to R4. Still no GS QF for her and it might be impossible with Simona Halep next up. Sorana Cirstea beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in three sets and plays Iga Swiatek next.

Doll has 7 seconds on JTB after the last shoot.

Goggia all over the place but still takes the lead. However the door is open.
-
Lara Gut is upset. The Super G course somehow didn't help her
-
Atle Lie McGrath lasted five seconds and managed to take out the camera man
-
At this rate Kristoffersen will have to make a chase from 29th after 1st run

The freestyle skiing expansion indicates otherwise. But that's not a bad thing, USA seems to be focused on that so you might leave biathlon alone. Historically this is one sport where USA never had much success which is a blessing in disguise.

Ski Jumping at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022
Monzanator replied to Totallympics's topic in Ski Jumping
Quite a big upset in selctions as Decker Dean isn't one of the three nominated athletes. Kevin Bickner won the internal trials so he was safe but Casey Larson and Patrick Gasienica will be the other two in Beijing. Picking Gasienica (obviously of Polish heritage) over Dean looks downright insane. However since USA doesn't matter much in ski jumping I assume there will be no domestic media backlash over this. -
Individual is my favorite event since shooting actually matters here. However I won't be surprised if it gets canned in the next 15 years due to TV demands. Thankfully USA isn't that strong in this sport or else that would have happened already IMO.

Alpine Skiing at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022
Monzanator replied to Totallympics's topic in Alpine Skiing
Since when IOC cares about balance? Alpine skiing might be one of the most popular winter sports but it doesn't matter. IOC is all about urban "new" sports and new fans. Alpine skiing is literally too old school to profit. Freestyle skiing needs to be expanded especially that's it's so much more popular in USA and we all know NBC is king when it comes to what should have priority. PS. There is no way 80 countries get a quota in alpine skiing. This is not athletics or swimming. -
Hildebrand finishead ahead of Weidel despite 3 more penalty minutes. Tell me again how Weidel must be the slowest German skier who ever made the A team in biathlon?
-
Maka 12th, Lightfoot 20th - both PB. Also Gabriele Lescinskaite in 19th with another PB for our neighbours! @Werloc
-
11th place for Anna Maka. Amanda Lightfoot 19/20 and should be World Cup points and probably a PB (31st in Ostersund Individual 2017 so far).
-
Anna Maka 19/20!!! PB on the way Her PB was 26th in Antholz Individual last season
-
Braisaz 19/20. Could be the first win for women this season.
-
Slettemark 18/20! Maybe she's got a chance for some WC points? Probably not enough ski speed but you never know. Vittozzi 12 misses Clare Egan 18/20 so could be a SB result.
-
Lisa Vittozzi with four misses on the first shoot just like in Ruhpolding sprint
