which apply to all remaining mentioned nations, btw next in line was   this is the reason why there only 15 countries in the competition.

 

Same issue had in the past Tina Weirather winning quotas here and there but the nation could never field a team

I was rude to our women skiers, we actually have three since Magdalena Luczak will take part in GS here. Zuzanna Czapska tore her ACL in the summer but she's still funded by our federation. But if we're ever gonna have someone at World Cup level within the next 10 years it's Luczak.

The Jasiczek brothers are self-funded and basically at odds with our federation. So they're probably gonna end up like Maciej Bydlinski and retire prematurely after being deemed "too old" to receive any help. Bydlinski was "too old" at age 28

Watching the competition now, this time with Eurosport's English commentators to change things up a bit, but wow....they are...not very good, are they? "A miss, normally she'd hit 20/20 in this race!"

 

No, nobody 'normally hits 20/20' in a 20-shot race.

It was an all-time low for Winterton & Dixon just when I gave them a chance after the Polish crew went into blabber mode. They focused on Clare Egan's medal chances when Davidova was 50 secs ahead of her and leading the damn charts What were they looking at other than ignoring Eastern Europeans by default?

it was no but who withdrew.

Also , , and were ahead of Finland, Belgium and Japan but all returned the quota I assume

Poland has one female skier and maybe two slalom guys who are completely worthless. We can't field a 6 person team even if we pull Marcin Szafranski from the Eurosport TV booth

All written in the rules

 

 

Too late. The damage has been done. Especially to all skiers who got screwed before the final.

I mean, if this ever gets added to the Olympics, it just means IOC has no backbone whatsoever. Litterally could not sink any lower than this.

Of course it will be added. It's NEW and flashy and millenials love it. Alpine combined takes too long and is boring but the parallel shit is the new drug and perfect for TV. Who needs integrity and fairness?

Unbelieveable bullshit! Liensberger still won both runs by at least 0,6 secs.

Just GET RID of this parallel bullshit already!!!

Yeah, it's unfair and the 0,5 mandatory gap screwed more people than just Liensberger in the final.

This competition has turned into even a bigger joke that it was before.

Are Faivre and Shiffrin still dating?

Now he has a gold medal for himself too

Schmid blows it on red course. Guess Germany had their luck before with Baumann & friends

Bassino wins on equal time again! Italy really gets some luck today!

Liensberger won 1st run by like 1,2 secs. but FIS rules make that irrelevant.

Big error for Zubcic and Faivre wins on blue course.

Liensberger wins by over 1 second but of course it doesn't matter

I seem to recall the first season when they introduced the parallel shit they still counted the real gaps after 1st run? The mandatory 0,5 gap only came in later for whatever reason.

because their opponents inherited the advantage by beating the higher seed...

 

so, actually it's not always the lower bib, but the skier filling the space of the supposed lower bib at the start of the knockout stage (if the no.16 beats the no., then it's like he gets the no.1 for the rest of the event, for instance)...

This is straight up garbage! I suppose FIS doesn't care about anything though. More team event & parallel shit for years to come!

Tied but Bassino in the final!

Third time Moltzan makes an error today and now she loses on the red course

Yep, even Bassino beats Brignone on the red course. Way too predictable.

Just now, JonPhi said:

You need blue in the first run!

Exactly. Whoever gets blue in 1st run has a HUGE advantage because of the mandatory 0,50 gap. It's obvious red course is worth more than 0,50.

Holdener out. Red course in 2nd run will win all the match-ups IMO.

Just now, hckošice said:

Gasienca looks very very well on her skis. If I have to bet I go for her

No chance, the mandatory 0,50 gap on the blue course in 1st run won't be enough IMO. They really should count the real difference.

De Aliprandini beats Odermatt by 0,01. Finally some luck for the hosts.

Maryna G-D into quarter-finals!

So she gets a government scholarship for Top 8 finish at World Championship level

1 minute ago, hckošice said:

honestly I would not be surprised to see Gasienica-Daniel winning a medal in GS soon or maybe even today in this PGS

Top 8 would be awesome. Nobody in Poland is delusional enough to think about medals in alpine skiing

Hey, blue course wins - well, it's Brignone over Filser so yeah...

Wierer should win the individual crystal globe on countback after Hauser dropped off the podium.

Hojnisz will qualify for the mass start with her Top 20 finish here.

Gold for Davidova.

Tandrevold will deny Hauser a medal.

Hell yes! Davidova 20/20!!!

Someone tell these ES morons Davidova is 15/15 too
