Only one female skier was selected for the championships.

Is this bet contest approved or an attempted coup?

But then again, he wouldn't be going home with a medal today if he finished 31st this morning...

I can't be anything but glad that combined is passe. I feel like even the climate change took part in destroying this event.

Podium decided. Sad, but true.

Yes, on a normal slalom course nobody in top 10 stands a chance.

But we are talking about Bosnia here... I've been there, and believe me that nobody gives a damn about EYOF there. They have much bigger problems.

"Paris will need at least 0.8-1.0 advantage over Schwarz."

And just like that, it's already 67 seconds downhill.

69 seconds downhill. That's quite long.

What did you expect, an Olympic-like coverage? It's basically a glorified high school competition.

That's too harsh. Italians had a very good weekend in Oberhof (Voetter in particular, who posted one German-alike start time in womens race...).

Where is Leenstra? Tired of 4th places?

62 seconds downhill. Unbelieveable.

M-T/M again got robbed by a miniscule margin. And just like earlier in the season against a Chinese pair...

North American League West, Stage 7 (Leon, Mexico) Jordan Coyle (Eristov) - 0/0/40.37 Salvador Onate (Big Red) - 0/0/41.96 Federico Fernandez (Davidoff) - 1/83.94 Full results... NAL West Standings

And that's a wrap for the Western European League. Now we know the list of WEL qualifiers for the WC Final (which I will post later). Belgium, Germany and Sweden are the big winners this season. Ireland on the other hand is probably the biggest disappointment. Not a single WEL podium and, more importantly, not a single qualifier for the WC final! Sweetnam and Swail could still qualify from the North American League, but the European-based Irishmen had a miserable season.

Western European League, Stage 13 (Bordeaux, France) Daniel Deusser (Tobago Z) - 0/0/46.37 Gregory Wathelet (Iron Man van de Padenborre) - 0/0/47.72 Eduardo Alvarez Aznar (Rokfeller de Pleville Bois Margot) - 0/0/49.16 Full results... Final WEL Standings Deusser completes the WEL season with incredible 99 points.

Yeah, not.

Bowe ate Kodaira for breakfast.

I LOVE the use of music in Oberhof.

Normal order restored...
