  1. Very early reports that KV Lie has a broken tibia & fibula. Potential knee injury as well. Schneeberger suffered a broken leg which you could see during live broadcast already.
  2. Pace & Lindh are DH World Champions after all. They never had a World Cup podium in Super G but had multiple in DH. Lindh from Alaska of all places was always in Picabo Street's shadow but she won Olympic silver in 1992 and two medals at WCh including gold in 1997 when Street was out with injury. She retired prematurely due to a back injury after that season aged 28. Nick Fellows was already there to provide ES commentary: Kate Pace won at the infamous Morioka 1993 WCh. Those people who complain about Lake Louise being a boring course need to check back how the Morioka course looked like
  3. Schneeberger with another heavy crash and this also looks bad.
  4. Of course, several skiers have done much better in Downhill than Super G over the years. Siebenhofer and B.Johnson from the current ones, Merighetti, Rolland & Kamer from the recently retired and off the top of my head the likes of Kate Pace and Hilary Lindh dating back to the 90s.
  5. Gut's Super G winning streak is over. Brignone of all people decided to become relevant again
  6. @Olympian1010 I'm pretty sure USA wants to stay out of East Africa forever after the epic Somalia 1993 disaster Not to mention the civil war in Somalia is still going on some 28 years after the failed UN raid
  7. Doesn't like the entire cross country team consist of two Italian-born siblings? Btw, Baiba Bendika will start in the 10km race? No publicity stunt for FIS points only?
  8. Forget it. Biden occupies the most powerful political position in the world and he looks like a guy who'd have trouble ordering a pizza on the phone. After four years or constant Trump blasting the Democrats can't possibly expect to get a free pass on Biden's age and his ramblings that show how old he really looks. It's different when you could hide him behind Obama's youthness, as the President the focus is on him and him alone. No more excuses (unless Kamala Harris or his wife will have to bail him out of PR trouble time and time again ).
  9. Everything evens out. The fluke gold medals Norway won with Rune Velta or Lars Bystoel at the Olympics shouldn't be forgotten. I mean Velta never won a single World Cup event and Bystoel only one
  10. Why? Poland has more gold medals than Germany. That's the perfect therapy
  11. Obviously not. Everyone had wind in the back in the second round today. Nobody takes Zyla seriously because of his Abbott & Costello antics off the hill but he just delivered a perfect kick in the teeth right there
  12. Not quite. Zyla takes gold! Poland beats Germany... in Germany
  13. Whatever happens here, it's nothing compared to the Seefeld shitshow two years ago
  14. Wind died for the last four and all of them outside Top 10. Another gold for Norway looks unlikely. Sadreev 30th.
  15. Svenja Wuerth down in 17th. I was a little off. She's doing worse than early Goessner in biathlon considering the zero competition level and the fact Geraghty-Moats actually gained 13 places in the cross country.
  16. Marte Lund fell from 2nd! Finally some drama Still gets third. Worst & least competitive event of the Championships is done and dusted.
  17. The lowest of all low-hanging fruits. Tara Geraghty-Moats is a World Cup overall winner after ONE frickin' race I see she completely blew the ski jumping here though? 18th? The biggest chance for gold medal looks toast. How low will Svenja Wuerth tumble? I'd say she finishes 14th
  18. I know what you're talking about, It's the same when Justyna Kowalczyk battled the Norwegian power house in cross-country skiing. Norway had a special lab bus worth 5 million Euro with gazillion skis, waxes & engineers while Kowalczyk only had coach Veretelny and two Estonian waxmen who covered both classic & freestyle skis. And she didn't have a private jet like Vlhova does now She had a Mercedes minivan to travel around Europe.
