Schwarz is now the hottest favorite for gold.

Gold is still possible for Meillard and Aerni. Pintu is not that great in First run of slalom races.

I said in two runs! Look at the results of this season ... Levi SL Brignone +3.05 in total (+1.57 in First run, +1.55 in second run to the best) Semmering SL Brignone +3.42 in total (+2.19 in First run, +1.44 in second run to the best) I said she will looses more than one second to the best in the slalom and regarding to the results of the season that will be the case.

Slalom course for women and men will not be the same!

Yes, we‘re expecting temperatures over 10 Degrees in the next time and it could get even warmer. But at the moment there is enough snow in reserve, so we not worry to much. But you‘re right, especially when so many athletes skis over the track it could get very deep and it could be a question who finds the right wax.

You know that Vlhova, Gisin, Shiffrin and Holdener are at least 2-3 seconds faster than the best of the rest in the women’s slalom field. And Brignone is not the best of the rest so she will loose 3-4 seconds. Yes, we have only one run but it would be a big surprise if she looses less then one second to the best times in the slalom.

I think we have to wait until number 14 Holdener, but with Shiffrin Vlhova and Gisin we have one of the TOP 5 Slalom ladies of this season at the beginning.

Yes it is the same course. Only numbers in the super g and the slalom will have a big opportunity.

Brignone was much better, but her Slalom skills are not that great. I think she need at least 0.8 seconds for the slalom to Shiffrin, Vlhova, Gisin and Holdener.

It seems to be a long Giant Slalom as well. 1:12 in 2010 per run ... If it is flat you can Worley rule out, you are right.

Hmmm, today was Claude better than Guigonnat. But Guigonnat is still faster on the skis and I think they search the first man for the relay, so I hope they will choose Guigonnat. Claude is too risky in a relay.

Laegreid skiing time is a little bit shocking.

2010 might be the last one.

But is one medal that what they expected? No medal in the speed events, not much chances in the combined tomorrow, not much chances in the slalom. They need to take it from the Parallel Giant Slalom, the Team Event and the Giant Slalom.

Looks like the third medal for Germany We expected that in Biathlon, but not in Alpin

Only opportunity would be the Lillehammer date. Two weeks before is Biathlon.

Chevalier fastest time on skis, what a comeback after the relay. Julia Simon a disaster again.

The World Cup Final will take Place in Östersund (SWE) https://www.biathlonworld.com/news/detail/world-cup-finals-ostersund

And it is not only Biathlon where something goes really wrong in Germany. There are no young people in ski jumping, Nordic combined and alpine skiing. The women’s alpine skiing team is a disaster and also no medals at juniors in Nordic combined and Ski jumping. Something goes really wrong in the federation there. But I would not even say that the Norwegian women’s team have such a great depth. In the men’s field yes, but not in the women. Norway has two great women at The Moment with Eckhoff and Roeiseland, but surely both will retire in the near future (2022/2023). After them comes Tandrevold, who could take there step, but she also isn‘t that strong then last season. And after these three there is a big gap ... the only Girl is Knotten, but she is far to slow on her skiis. And then comes not really much ...

Well, he should had the opportunity to qualifier over the European Championships, but he had a problem with his rifle in the sprint and finished only in 38th sprint, so Kuehn got the ticket.

Sorry, but where had Germany talented XC skiers on the men’s site in the last few years? Yes, some won Medals at U23 Championships but they haven‘t take the step into the world class. And so it is in Biathlon. After 2014 there came no more talented athlete in Biathlon. The last ones were at this time Dahlmeier, Preuß, Hinz and Doll.

Yes it is the Tofana course! But do you think the two have a chance on a medal? For me we have 4 really big favorites in the combined: Shiffrin, Vlhova, Gisin and Holdener. Brignone and Bassino are Not Good enough in Slalom and even not good at Super G at the Moment. It will be a big surprise if they finish in a medal position, therefore the others need to failure.

Guigonnat would not have raced. @OlympicsFanthe Problem ist, that in Germany there are also not good XC Skier in the Mans Field and in the Women‘s only one.

Bad skiing times ... 1. Bö J (NOR) 22:33.3 2. Dale (NOR) +21.6 3. Jacquelin (FRA) +25.1 4. Fillon Maillet (FRA) +26.7 5. Bö T (NOR) +31.1 6. Samuelsson (SWE) +32.7 7. Ponsiluoma (SWE) +32.8 8. Doll (GER) +33.4 9. Latypov (RUS) +37.8 10. Kühn (GER) +38.3 11. Loginov (RUS) +39.5 12. Destheiux (FRA) +41.2 13. Nelin (SWE) +49.2 14. Guigonnat (FRA) +49.5 15. Laegreid (NOR) +49.8 ... 30. Peiffer (GER) +1:15.1 64. Lesser (GER) +1.53.6

I‘m so proud of Simon after this season Claude again so poor, Guigonnat much faster on skis, they need to put in Guigonnat in the relay, if they want a medal, even if Claude is the better one in the World Cup standing Emilien and Quentin also have they best ski form for the whole season I‘m a little bit shocked by Laegreids ski time
