I so, we have 2 uphill sections one Kitz alike narrow road (completely flat)... how can people say this is a difficult slope? obviously it's all about the design of the actual course, but man...this track is going to make the Sochi and Pyeongchang's some kind of "great classics"... I think we're gonna see some surprising results there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both request should be a no. Thankfully it is not FIS deciding. I mean the rules are stupid but were clear from beginning. The Austrians did not even read the qualification rules probably as they thought we will have 11 anyway. And you are right with shooting, but that was clear from beginning not a change afterwards.

Monzanator 3,594 Posted January 23, 2022 #167 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I posted the same video on the first page back in August. I wonder what has changed since? Still that big turn at the bottom? Could be some tired legs making mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I feel Goggia doesn't feel psychological aspects, otherwise she wouldn't put down kamikaze runs every single time despite her injury history phelps 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I agree that it should be throughout one sport ...... In this case alpine skiing.... But if should be requesting switching snowboarding quota for alpine? I think that's wrong ..... They did not earn enough quota in alpine? Not my fault..... If you don't want the snowboarding quota, fair enough, decline it and give a chance someone else in THE SAME SPORT!!!!

Jan Linha 473 Posted January 24, 2022 #170 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Maybe next time, the ice hockey coach can say that he will take 23 players instead of 25 in order to get a spot in mixed doubles curling competition ...... 💪💪 Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
