Apparently Meta Hrovat crashed with her head onto a larger rock while skiing with a group near her hometown.
 
She was airlifted to the hospital and is badly injured but her life is not in danger.

A bit of a shocking retirement from Meta Hrovat today. I thought she was still on her way of reaching her full potential but I guess she just doesn’t have the drive anymore.

Happy for McGrath, but yet another completely random result. I’ve never seen a season completely full of unexpected winners. At least Strolz looks like he’s here to stay and Norwegian BFFs are both vastly talented and were going to the top sooner rather than later anyway.
 
I wonder what the lowest amount of points for winning a slalom globe is, considering we had 9 races now and Kristoffersen leads by 48 points at “measly” 371.

Really miss Samkova here. All favorites really disappointed, but if Jacobellis could win the gold medal 16 years after that blunder, that would be an incredible story. Can’t believe she didn’t even get a single medal after that… crashed in the SFs of 2010, 2014 and ended up 4th in 2018 despite leading for a while.

Well done Petra, I didn’t doubt she could get a medal even for a second, but great to see her getting gold as well. Great reactions and very world-cup like podium which is always nice.
 
No fluke medalists this year really so far (this will change during men’s combined cause that start list is woeful). I guess most surprising would be RCS (great season last year before injury tho), Brignone (god awful GS season until very recently) and Clarey (but he always has a random 2nd or 3rd place every 10 races).

Oh please what is this moping around? She had two big mistakes in the 1st run, but she’s still clearly in contention for the medal here and a gold medal favorite in slalom. 

I like Kriechmayr, but this whole thing of FIS breaking their rule for him (mostly because he’s Austrian) is just so stupid. The fact that they even showed his “fake” training run and Austrians laughing about it shows that FIS doesn’t care about being clearly biased.

Dubovska with a top7 bib is surreal to see 💀 she has one top7 result in her World Cup career (6th in Levi)

This is why slalom is the best discipline, where else will you find a Spaniard, 2 Bulgarians, a Japanese and a Belgian infront of the best Austrian in an alpine skiing race. Great to see more countries but also what a disaster for Austria today.

Also Eva Samkova broke both her ankles today and is out of Beijing. What a shame she’s been on top of the sport for so long now so her missing a chance for the third consecutive medal sucks.

The fact is IOC’s reputation has been damaged, acting as CCTV’s puppet because they told everyone Peng is okay, so there wasn’t any need for those fake interviews/statements they usually make people do.

this article perfectly summarized what IOC has gotten a indirect culprit in.

Good podium, but surprised that Duerr’s podiums in Levi turn out not to be an anomaly. The top7 for slalom seem so convincing with taking the high places that I wonder which skier will manage to do a Gallhuber in Beijing and get a medal.
 
Not sure why they can’t do the GS in Killington tomorrow, they should’ve just postponed it on Saturday, but they clearly wanted to smash their head through the wall in those disastrous conditions.

Beijing 2022 twitter account is now hiding replies containing Peng Shuai and blocking people that mention them about it. Yikes.
 
You’d expect the official Olympics social media manager to be a bit more professional.

I rooted for Bassino in the final, but her losing in both SF and F if looking at both runs, but winning a gold medal because of weird rules? Pathetic. 
 
Hope it’s addressed by FIS, but knowing their history they’ll just ignore it and let people forget it.

Congrats to Vlhova, the bottom part from her was amazing.
 
But I’m not sure what was going on with Mikaela, her first run seemed so passive, she seemed not to attack the course at all and her behaviour was a bit strange after Mowinckel got to the finish, securing Mikaela a medal, she just looked completely exhausted. Hope there’s not any injury and it was just a bad day, really want her to win 4th consecutive slalom world champs.

I don’t think limiting Maze’s SG skills to “just 1 SG win” is quite fair when she has 17 podiums in the event and 39 top10 results. It was just a win that kept avoiding her and I think she had a record number of 4th places in the event as well iirc
