Right now he has problems with "head" since he wants to use new skis but has a contract with head that he has to make another comeback with head skis, but if they reach an agreement, Miller will probably return

They should have cancelled the Slalom, so you could still try to have a race tomorrow. You can have a Slalom pretty much everywhere and we have too many Slaloms, the whole overall WC is heavily biased towards Slalom and GS specialists, they have way more races than the speed specialists.
Ain't that the truth, Ruth!Mayomaniac wrote:Yes, the team event kinda sucks.
Alpine Sking is such a brutal sport, the wear and tear and the injuries are just nasty.
Just look at the two downhill WCs, Feuz already had 8 knee surgeries and Stuhec 5 (all of them on her right knee an she's only 26 years old).

The wear and tear i just brutal, so many of the pros have bad knees or back problems and there are a ton of people who didn't make it because of injuries, I know a girl who used to be pretty good, but she had to deal with spinal disc problems in her lower back since her teens.
If we ignore combat sports and other sports that involve a ton of potential head trauma like American Football Alpine Skiing is probably the one sport that I wouldn't want my kids to take pursuit a career in, way too many injuries.

Anyway, the women's even was quite good. The slope looked brutal, hardly anyone could really carve on the steepest sections. It's a bit sad that Mölgg couldn't win but Rebensburg is a worthy winner who could have won by a way bigger margin anyway, if she hadn't made big mistakes on the lower part of the slope in the first run.
Meanwhile the most interesting thing about the cancelled mens even was Ligety's not overly smart comment that he thinks the race wasn't actually cancelled due to bad weather but due to the fact that the Austrian organizers wanted to give Hirscher an advantage for the world cup since he wouldn't have started due to a fractured ancle but might return to the world cup in december. Ofc the cancellation is indeed an advantage for Hirscher but still I think it's quite obvious a race can't take place with wind with guts of over 100kph.

Ligety's comment isn't exactly smart.![]()
Yeah, you can't have a race with that kind of weather, but the rule that you can't postpone the last (ok, I get the reasoning behind that) and the first race of the season (WTF?), that rule is just stupid, the next race will take place in 2 weeks, so having the race today would have been fine and also better for the race organizers.
