Popović once again in top 30 after super-g. EDIT: In the end there are only 30 finishers. @hckosice Kantorova will open the slalom later.

Nina Ortlieb falls after two gates hard. She is up on her feet quite quickly but there is a visible patch of blood on the snow. :/

Do these people know how to set a super-g course

Driving WC final in Gothburg kicked off today with some shocking results! Overnight leader is Voutaz, closely followed by Dobrovitz. Big favourites, Exell, de Ronde and Chardon had a bad day. Exell and de Ronde are 3rd and 4th overnight, so still with a chance. Meanwhile, an absolute legend and the defending champion Chardon is way out of it, back in 7th place. Results - time differences will be halved and will be used as starting penalties for tomorrow's decider.

Colombia will compete in men's team sprint tomorrow.

Climbed from 31st to 28th place after 2nd heat

Nice 1st heat for our team. Top 30 might be in the cards.

Bjoergen trolls her way to another gold. For how long does she plan to do this? Another 10 years?

Ah, I see. I actually tried that with my own roller skates few years ago, and I think I learned the skating technique rather well, considering that I used some odd wooden poles. I even tried the classic technique with that.

I think just the regular roller skates and poles can do a trick. At least in the early stages.

5th start, 5th WC win for Isabell Werth this season, this time with Emilio. Even before this win in Gothenburg she had a maximum of 80 pts. Meanwhile, the calendar for the Event Rider Masters 2017 has been released. 7 stages in three nations, expansion from the first season which only had events in Great Britain. However, the thing I love about ERM are their broadcasts. High quality, knowledgeable and funny commentators, "nerds" from EquiRatings talking about rider/horse statistics , interviews with riders/favourites during the competition etc. It's just an awesome presentation of the eventing.

And to think that Takanashi has 53 World Cup wins How many women's World cups have been held, 60?

They cancelled it eventually.

Merlene Ottey: "Cry me a river!"

I wanted Frenzel to beat Rydzek However, I correctly predicted "Any other" for the third place.

These are the first WC points for Croatian women since Totallympics exists

She did it

Faster than Weirather IF she finishes the slalom we might get the first women's WC points since 2011! However that's a mighty big IF considering that her succes rate at the Worlds was 0/5

And there were many, if not more, countries being interested for 2022 and 2024 and yet we ended up with 2 both times And seing the state of Rio venues just 6 months after Olympics... Let's just say that countries of similar level (e. g. South Afica) could get disheartened.

3990.88 FIS points

Ouch, that fall was head first.

So only 10 minutes behind today.

Instead of showing Solano they show some slow random tables

Fall number 9, I think we might have some delays here

Fall number 4.
