dcro 10,179 Posted February 8, 2021 #64 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Oh, wow. Chinese athletes are getting some uber inflated points on their 70 seconds long downhills. https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=AL&raceid=108586 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted February 9, 2021 #65 Share Posted February 9, 2021 To follow up on these Chinese downhillers, it appears it all started last year... https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=AL&competitorid=178959&raceid=103606 Basically, a couple of Austrian and Italian skiers arrived to China with an aim of lowering FIS points? It all seems like a scheme a la Project Bogota. But this is China, so nobody will get punished, of course. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,757 Posted February 11, 2021 #66 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Ted Ligety announces his retirement. Will ski his last races in Cortina, then hang up his boots. https://snowbrains.com/ted-ligety-announces-retirement/ Great skier, but maybe one of those guys that went a couple of years too long.

phelps 6,853 Posted February 11, 2021 #67 Share Posted February 11, 2021 all Wintersport World Cup events scheduled for the next weeks in Norway have been cancelled, from Alpine to Cross-Country Skiing, from Ski-Jumping to Nordic Combined... and even if there's not official news yet, also Biathlon will be axed soon... hopefully, a few of them will be rescheduled elsewhere, but I fear many others won't... https://www.fis-ski.com/en/alpine-skiing/alpine-news-multimedia/news-multimedia/news/winter-2020-21/all-remaining-fis-world-cups-in-norway-cancelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federer91 2,140 Posted February 11, 2021 #68 Share Posted February 11, 2021 We can have the SG in Bansko, but FIS will probably want a new full host for that weekend. Time for Wengen to get back the races they cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,474 Posted February 16, 2021 #69 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Little article about a Jamaican chasing qualification in Alpine Skiing: https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2021/02/16/benjamin-alexander-jamaica-skier Don’t know what his FIS Points are, but it doesn’t sound like he’s close yet. “Sport has the power to change the world.
