Something that Germany desperately needed, because they're getting destroyed by Norway and France. Sweden is also moving ahead with capable athletes like the Oebergs, Samuelsson, Ponsi and new Swedish improvements like Halvarsson, Heijdenberg, plus it's probable that Andersson comes through next year as well.
 
With the level that Norwegian men and French women have, I don't really see Germany being ready to challenge next year. 
 
Have a feeling it's gonna be Perrot, Giacomel and a handful of Norwegians battling it out next year. 
 
As for the women, I think it looks like a French year, with Jeanmonnot + Michelon and Richard getting more time to get better, it's tough to see who could be consistent enough to challenge. Although, I would love for the Oeberg sisters to have a season where they're both healthy throughout. It's also uncertain what kind of Vittozzi we're getting, if Grotian has enough time to become a challenger and in what kind of form will Preuss come back to, after her first ever season with no health issues.

We aren't clowns, we are the all circus.

Yeah looks like she fell because of her pole that she put between her shoe and her ski, she didn't have much space in the turn so that's what caused this mistake.
 
Man I'm so sad it ends this way  (and not just because I'm French and was rooting for Lou)
I wish we could've seen a sprint between them instead of such an anticlimactic ending. This is incredibly frustrating.
 
Nevertheless, congratulations to Preuss who had so much bad luck throughout her career, she deserves this so much.
 
Now I just hope Lou will win the overall someday, second year in a row where she's close to doing it

Terrible finish to a season. A fall to decide the overall World Cup. Very underwhelming.

Lou Jeanmonnot falls and Preuss won  Some work for the jury I guess.

Jeanmonnot falls down. Way too tight turn there.

As per the FIS quota release today only 6 countries would be eligible for the Aerials team event at the 2026 Olympics:  no other country has enough athletes to qualify a team. 
 
Last time out both  and  withdrew, are we possibly heading to an event with 4 entries only?

Coletta Rydzek, wow
 
Such big surprises are always cool

China with another big win over Sweden in their qualification game to advance to the semifinals. They need a medal to qualify for the Olympics otherwise Norway goes. Odds aren’t looking good for Norway at this point…
