Swewi 297 Posted January 26, 2022 #541 Share Posted January 26, 2022 4 straight DNF for Jakobsen.. At least he reach the podium every time he finish this season And what is happening to Men´s slalom, new winners all the time and every race has someone outside top 20-25 in first run ending up on the podium?

Yesterday's early DNF was so expected. And it's not something one can fix in a month or so. Chances are that he will either DNF in Beijing, or that he will be just slow. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,217 Posted January 29, 2022 #543 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Only 41 starters today in Ga-Pa W Downhill. Still the logic to schedulle a downhill 5 days before the Olympics in the other side of the world plus in pandemic era is beyond my understanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but getting covid or injury a week before is really not worth it. Nothing against Ga-Pa, I just find the risk too high now, they could perfectly schedulle the races after the games or another date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same story in the ski jumping, not even 50 entrants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
