    Hofmeister winning bronze with the “crash every race” strategy xD
  2. NearPup
    There is literally nothing “more important” until 2021...
  3. NearPup
    This was a much better event back when they did two runs...

    Why are we even comparing White and Ledeská? Freestyle and alpine snowboarding are almost different sports now, there is no overlap between the athletes. ...and come on, Red Gerard isn’t even one of the one of the biggest star of slopestyle snowboarding, let alone snowboarding in general. He was a big media star in the US during the Olympics but that was about it.

    Maybe, but I’m always down for more snowboardcross. Would be happy to still have the men’s and women’s team event on top of the mixed team event tbh. Altough they need to get the technical problems straightened out, two of the eight runs required a re-run which is just not acceptable.

    This ski big air contest is really amazing. Women casually throwing double corks and 1080s and eight of the ten men stomping big tricks on their first jump, with the two in last place going down on a triple 1620 and 1800... This is way better than any Snowboard big air event that has ever been at the FIS worlds, that’s for sure.

    Is this only the case for North America?

    Sailing is already in Marseille. Surfing isn’t expensive to run assuming there is a suitable venue (and France is not wanting for suitable surfing venues).

    Football is already pushing it with 18 players, especially given that by rule three of them need to be keepers. Normally a team has 23 players for a tournament.

    Bold prediction: Paris will retain Skateboarding, Surfing and Climbing. Squash will (finally) be added. Karate will be on the bubble but is likely to also be retained.

    Given how scary the crash was that’s probably the best news we could have hoped for.

    I wish they used the two run format snowboarding had before 2018. Run qualification on both courses, top 16 on each course gets a second qualification run on the other course. Top 16 overall makes it to the bracket stage. Two runs per round.

    And SonicFox won best esports player

    That’s really not unusual for women’s bobsleigh in the season after the Olympics, unfortunately.

    * Alpine Combined specialist :P Weirather was very close to having a very, very scary crash...

    I’m pretty sure that if Calgary got the 2026 games and Lake Louise ended up being chosen as the Downhill / Super G venue over Nakiska you would have seen Vonn compete there...

    Honestly happy to see Aileen Frisch still competing, I was kind of worried she would retire for a second time after the Olympics (considering that’s the only reason she got naturalized in the first place). Makes me a little optimistic that the Korean luge program will stick around and keep improving.
  18. NearPup
    Considering that only one athlere who’s native language isn’t German has ever won a gold medal at the Olympics in Luge it isn’t that surprising. To say that the sport is dominated by germanophones is a bit of an understatement.

    Lindsey Vonn has announced that she might push back her retirement in order to race in Lake Louise next season.
  20. NearPup
    I think Skateboarding is probably pretty safe (the IOC will probably push hard for it), and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Surfing retained too since France has a lot of strong athletes and there are some very good venues in Southern France.
  21. NearPup
    She could reqlistically be a contender for three golds in 2022. Would be quite exciting to see.
  22. NearPup
    Erik Guay (2011 Downhill World Champion, 2017 Super-G World Champion and 2010 Super-G World Cup winner) has announced his retirement effective immediately. He was initially planing to retire at the end of the season but Manuel Osborne-Paradis' training crash yesterday prompted him to rethink competing this year.
  23. NearPup
    “Including the entire women’s Olympic team”, oh boy...
  24. NearPup
    It’s really unfortunate that Vonn won’t compete at Lake Louise in her farewell season, there is simply no venue that is as associated with her. Really wanted to see her win one last ine there.
  25. NearPup
    I kind of figured that was inevitable given his debut World Cup season last year. He looks better than Sung dis four years out of Pyeongchang.
