Shiffrin 1,30 behind. Well, well... now all bets are off.

Liensberger made some errors in the middle part, Vlhova still 0,30 behind her.

Which is why I think it makes sense to call Cruz out, like I originally did. 

Since you live in one of the three states in question, you're kinda biased to begin with. And I don't hear you calling out California over anything (probably because it's a Democrat state and Democrats always do things better than everyone else ).

It has more to do with Cruz being a giant asshole. 
 

He voted against emergency aid for states affected by Hurricane Sandy because that storm only affected “blue” states.

 

He also voted against giving aid to California during our struggles with wildfires. 
 

He was also one of the Senators who objected to the certification of the election of Joe Biden based on unfounded claims about election fraud.

 

That’s just the tip of the iceberg on Cruz. 

Texas, New York and California are three states that are like countries within a country IMO. No politician from any of these states cares a damn thing about USA but only about the state they live in. Senator from Texas doesn't care about California? Geez, like that's old news. What happened with the idea California would be better off leaving USA and forming an independent Republic? I seem to recall you were on board with that solution?

Knotten bounced from the relay and the weakest member on the third leg for Norway. Guess they learned their lessons not to play catch-up from the start?

I am not talking about the condition of the course. I am talking about the fact that a) Most of the favorites didn’t even bother to show up in the parallel slalom b) A gazillion Norwegian guys who could have medaled are injured c) Many athletes not being in top shape thanks to COVID.

If you miss Norwegians winning medals then switch over to biathlon or wait for the Nordic champs in Oberstdorf. I presume they will make up for Kilde & Braathen's injuries. The way Stjernesund and Holtmann struggled yesterday and Kristoffersen and Haugen today makes me think they simply couldn't perform on icy slopes.

The way Cruz enjoys blaming everybody else it's rather deserved that it gets attention.

Must be due to his Cuban roots. Americans still have a heavy anti-Cuban bias IMO.

No, certainly not. The parallel event and the combined are joke events. I already wrote a couple days ago that a bronze in the super g for example is more valuable than a gold in the combined, which is infinitely more valuable than a gold in the parallel competition. In the end most of the results here are not relevant thanks to the conditions.

Hey, if you can't ski on ice, it shows you're not a complete skier. It's World Championships, not a request concert Medals stay forever no matter if the courses are flat, short, icy or whatever excuse you want to find We've seen worst World Championships like the infamous Morioka crapshoot or the shortened courses in Aare. Cortina is good, finally some proper ice slopes some people are completely unprepared for.

Ah, the most humiliating months in US presidential history are over now that Trump's insanity has moved to the background somewhat, so Trumpists start to come out of their shells again with a focus on anti-Biden instead of pro-Trump all over the internet now (even more than usual)  

 

How unexpected  

The entire politics and social media is anti-something in the last decade. Where have you been to miss this?

I was only talking about relevant events.

You'd be saying differently if Schmid won gold in parallel   FIS tells us parallel events are more relevant than combined for instance

Someone actually scored points in men's GS?

Easily one of the most absurd results in the history of alpine skiing World Championships. None of the top 3 deserved a medal after this season. Fabre probably can‘t believe that he won a single medal here, but him winning gold is completely ridiculous. At least he can now retire in peace. Austria‘s absurd luck sadly also continues. They win gold in every competition where they have a medal chance and bronze in events where they have no business of winning medals (men‘s/women‘s giant slalom). At least Italy finally got it‘s first and probably last medal. Italy wasn’t a good host, but it still would have been sad to see them „leaving“ empty-handed.

Italy won a gold medal earlier in the champs already

How can you have a trend based on one event however stupid? GB actually have a good record of turning up for events even in the face of terrorism. Australia not so much.

The problem is, GB doesn't host the Olympics so their opinion is totally irrelevant what Japan does. The old Empire feelings must be very strong, back when London decided what happens in over half of the world. It must stink you've lost that power to tell other people what to do

What a fucking choke from Pinturault!!!

Faivre second gold medal!

De Aliprandini gets a medal! Happy for him.

Schmid DNF. Germany losing medals after overperforming in Week 1.

This could be a medal for Faivre. Three to go.

Kristoffersen behind Zampa

Haugen ties Hadalin but that's still a terrible day for him.

Hey, it's not Brexit. Great Britain can always pull out of the Games to stay true to their recent trends? No EU, no SOG. What next?

I have a feeling de Aliprandini will choke in the 2nd run (hopefully he doesn't)

With America suffering its worst weather crisis for decades, Joe Biden takes the day off and lets a Black woman do his work for him.

What else do you expect from a senile Big Tech & Wall Street puppet?   He won't seek re-election in four years time and Harris will be the candidate so it suits the overall plan.

Ted Cruz isn't the President unlike Joe fucking Biden. The 'blame everything on Trump' era is OVER!

WADA is a fucking joke. Because Schwazer isn't some Russian who can be dismissed as a Putin puppet they deserve all the heat they get. For once they can't blame this on Russian trolls or anything

Poland 26th.... sigh... we managed to beat Moldova & Croatia!
