MEN'S World Cup 2021-2022

[S.H.]

If anything it looks like a setup for more crashes, rather than trying to prevent them like they explain in the video.

But maybe they'll be slower/from closer to the net?

Yeah, idk. It's different, not really clear it's better...

I like that podium. Would have picked the same.
My back-ups: Mayer and Paris.

German modifications are the best ones

Of course - just ask them.

Kriechmayr
Kilde
Clarey ! (It’s short)

RCS- 11th

Random thoughts…
They ran two DH’s last year, both from the top and Fuez has two Hahnenkamm trophies now - and just one behind Paris.
Seems they still have some open gondolas for naming when I was there but not sure how many. Here are some photos.
Prediction: Meyer, Fuez, Paris

Hoping the weather allows them to start from the top

 

[Swede]

Windy, new snow, lots of work to clear the course in the night. Not from the top today.

Cool drone footage which elevates the action. We can expect a lot can to happen in this department, to enhance the experience on screen.

Didn't watch the race (too much going on out here in SLC right now) but after looking at the results it certainly seems like they ran from the top today.

How could you forget ... THE Blaise Giezendanner?

Kilde just mastered the course today. Great that we (the French) snagged podium spots, but having one them be 41 and other a virtual unknown is not optimal...

Ganong and Bennett looked great and both made small errors that cost a few tenths. That "Bodes" well for Beijing.

Not quite from the top. Very windy for certain runs.

 

[Moose32]

Nice win by Kilde. Hope the Londoner has some Aquavit. Bib #43 on the podium - pretty cool.
I looked at the time from bed and also initially thought it was from the top. Loks like they started it just below the first turn but above the Mausefalle.
Someday an American or Norwegian will win from the top. My guess is that it won't be Sunday - but would love to be wrong.

 

[James]

Wow, Clarey second!
Kriechmayr a distantfinish.

I called RCS for 11, but Bennett got it.

 

[dbostedo]

Bib 43 to a podium spot is impressive!

No start moved down a little.

 

[Rudi Riet]

No start moved down a little.

Yeah, I see now that they started at the Mausefalle alternate start, which provides a slight bit of wind protection.

They almost ran the entire course but the top was at a much slower speed.
It certainly was not like the Rahlves (2003, 69.63") or Jansrud (2015, 58.16") wins - which were extremely short.

Considering the weakness of the French speed team, both men and women, we (the French) will take whatever crumb we can get!
