Exactly. Even though I'm not sure today's results represent so well who the most complete skiers in downhill and slalom combined are.
Starting order is the issue here. But if you don't reverse the top 30 for slalom, folks would switch their TVs off after 10 skiers.
Doing slalom first could be the solution here. You'd have all the top combi skiers starting early in the slalom, then the downhill is pretty neutral in terms of start numbers.
