Because Hirscher is winning super g/downhill races? Also Hirscher will be gone soon while Shiffrin will dominate for many more years. Shiffrin won 6 out of 7 slaloms, Hirscher won 4 out of 7. Shiffrin/Vlhova went 1-2 in 6 out of 7 races, theres in no way anyone can not call women's slalom the most boring discipline of all (apart from men's/women's alpine combined).

Gladly there are other athletes, although apparently you only seem to care about those two. Have you ever heard of something like "Men's alpine skiing"?

Yeah sure, Shiffrin is better than her in all disciplines, so i am sure this will become an interesting battle ...

Is Vlhova weighing more than the other 2 medallists combined?

Another black day for sport. Dominance is always boring, but Shiffrin winning every GS is a thousand times better than this joke.

I think top 7 can all win gold, let's hope that Rebensburg won't choke again. I am a bit disappointed by Bassino, after her breakthrough 2 or 3 years ago i expected her to constantly finish top 3, but until now she didn't live up to that promise.

Today we might finally see a decent result for Germany, but Rebensburg has to secure the first place for that. Let's hope that Vlhova won't win a medal here.

I think it's not impossible to win more than 6 medals in athletics, more than 4 medals in track cycling, more than 6 medals in equestrian, more than 3 medals in swimming and more than 2 medals in tennis. Winning the same number of medals as in 2016 might not seem bad, but will all the new events being equally successful as in 2016 would probably mean to win 46-48 medals.

On the womens side i think all the best athletes competed, but where were Hirano, Hiraoka, Davis, Ferguson, Hablützel, Ravnjak on the mens side? (also maybe White will come back for 2022)

Nice to see that Flukedecka wont steal another medal.

Black year for sports already. Freestyle skiing world championships, snowboarding world championships and alpine skiing world championships have all been completely pointless, all those results have absolutely zero value going forward. Maybe in another decade or two we wont have professional winter sport at all anymore.

Very happy for my man Pat Burgener, totally deserved medal for him. Wish Hablützel could have been there too ...

No

Great winner, super fast times! As someone who has been supporting Bittner for many years now i am very excited about this, winning on her home track must be very special for her.

Very weird race on the womens side. Eckhoff insanely fast and Kuzmina slow like a turtle? At least we dont have the same boredom as on the mens side, but its still sad to see the level of competition, just thinking about how easily Dahlmeier in decent shape could have won the overall world cup this year. Boe takes the whole fun out of watching the mens race, Fourcade was never as dominant as Boe is. The sad thing is that he is still so young and apart from a doping ban i dont see anything that could stop him in the next couple of years.

Whats wrong about what he said (only going by the headline)? Of course olympics are easier to organize in dictatorships.

And people wonder why the US is so dominant in swimming and athletics ... First they got rid of russia in athletics and now they force the whole world to adapt to their biorhythm. I think its a great idea to modify the race walking program, 50 km race walking has always been one of the most boring/unnecessary events of the games. The best solution in my opinion would be to only have womens 20 km race walking and mens 20 km race walking.

Could someone please explain why snowboard cross and freestyle skiing aerials have a team event and the other disciplines dont? Overall very bad (organized) championships, it is completely unacceptable that disciplines get cancelled (so quickly). For some athletes that means 3 years without a major championship (2018 - 2021). In addition to that the level seems very bad in many disciplines, some of the top guys in halfpipe/slopestlye dont even bother to show up, i guess it has something to do with the X Games. In the best interest of the sport FIS and the host of the X Games should find a way to coexist. I think it would be best to separate freestlye skiing and snowboarding world championships.

Italy must be the nation with the biggest improvements over all sports during the last couple of years. They must spend a crazy amount of money on sports ...

1) Why are you so excited about that? 2) Not that great a performance when you look at the number of participants ... this might even be less competitive than womens ski/snowboard cross.

No absolutely not true. Dreßen for example is great in downhill but shit in super g, Ferstl is great in super g but shit in downhill. On the womens side its much easier to be good in both.

Predcitions this far away from the olympics cant be taken seriously, i dont know why anyone would bother taking this seriously.

The more i think about it the happier i am with the tanking of the german girls in this event. Ironically the competition was so weak that Hofmeister still won a medal despite trying everything she could to not win a medal. If Germany would have swept this then some people might have asked for PGS/PS to be removed due to lack of competition, but now that we have seen that very different athletes win medals in PGS and PS, PS might be brought back to the olympics.

Show some respect please. This is her first medal at a major event and you just shit on it.

Like i always said, super g is too technical, it needs to be longer and faster. There should be no super g that lasts less than 90 seconds and no downhill that lasts less than 120 seconds, otherwise Shiffrin will keep exploiting the system. Stanmark is probably turning around in his grave seeing how easy it is nowadays for a (giant) slalom specialist to win a super g.
