30 men down. It’s in the books now!

31 it's the minimum today

Nasty, nasty crash for Italian Alexander Prast

 

His helmet even flew off, luckily he didn't have a significant hit on his head after that, but his knee seems....not good.

Guy from Alice Robinson’s ski company is hiding in the toilets now.

Vlhova messes up!  Bassino again!

Bad 2nd run but 5th season podium

[heywoodu 13,559]

"Achieved 3 straight victories in 4 WC races."

 

What's the added value of the 4 there? I mean, 3 straight victories are by definition done in 3 WC races, aren't they? Why is FIS trying to undersell that impressive stat?  

[Monzanator 3,595]

These stats are as useless, the same as these overtaking probability numbers shown in F1. Must be some crazy Americans working on the TV graphics.

 

Maryna Gasienica-Daniel finished 21st which is a great result after a big mistake in the 2nd run. We are light years behind everyone in alpine skiing, even our neighbours Czech Republic & Slovakia

Still Petra wrote some history today. Apparently Vlhová is the first ever female skier to win more than 400 points in WC after 5 first races of the season. The previous record holders was Anita Wachter in 1993 with 360 points after 4 races but did not won any point in the 5th race and Mikaela Shiffrin with exactly 400 points after 5 races in the previous season.

but that's only recent history...

 

the real target was to tie Marie-Therese Nadig's 5 wins in the first 6 races of the season (that's the true record to be improved in the category "most wins to start a season" ), which of course is not possible anymore...

True. So better to say according to nowadays scoring system then.
