Interesting event. No practice, just inspection and race. See some wild skiing with that one...

Yeah, I just don't get it kinda. Seems like recycled DH. GS I can relate to. Even SL I can relate to, I just think it's more technical that I can appreciate.

Whatever one has Marta Bassino or Therese Johaug in it.

... Super GS seems redundant..

So ...completely appropriate for an event created for television

I chose the 4 Alpine World Cup race events but I would add parallel as I have been following all the WC season every year for as long as I can remember. Although I will watch bits of other ski events & other broadcast sports the WC is the only sport I follow closely. The classic Downhills like Wengen, Kitzbuhel & Bormio cannot be missed!
Ski movies & tech stuff only in micro doses but I do like Cody Townsends “50 Project” & La Liste was great!

Biathlon relays at the top level. Wild wild wild.

Oops - link was to a wild individual mass start, not relay. Also great.

Here's a relay:

Biathlon relays at the top level. Wild wild wild.

Biathlon in general is very interesting; xc at full tilt, then calm down heart rate and breathing to steadily squeeze off rounds. Not easy.

Love to watch DH races. Each racer has a different line, stunning recoveries, and watching the time gaps flip back and forth is gripping.

But my love for slalom is the most fun to watch. Every racer makes mistakes, but it's how they manage it that is enthralling to watch.

Ski Cross was my third pick because I love to see how people find speed through the jumps, bumps, and other competitors.
