World Cup 2019/20 Season MEN

as they happen is due to Austrian TV rights, which they do not share nicely.

It's not that "they don't share them nicely", but contrary to most of other races, tv right holder is ORF (Austrian TV), and not Infront, which bought tv rights for majority of other races. So thing is, US broadcaster would need to negotiate price with ORF (for Austrian races) and with Infront (for most of other races), but obviously they did it just with Infront, which doesn't include Austrian races in that package.

Terrible. How do we get around it?
Vpn? Which one is good?

 

[Swede]

I really hope Mattias M is in the zone tomorrow and takes it. Such a nice guy.

The ”boss” took it, as Kilde said.

Moose the reason the Hahnenkamm and other Austrian Races are not shown on US TV as they happen is due to Austrian TV rights, which they do not share nicely. Lucky we get to see it a few days late.

Yea, I’m tracking. It was similar situation last year with at least some same day coverage. I’d miss it if in the afternoon due to kids ski racing but it’s the point I guess. As I’ve said before, just another reason to go over for Kitz-Schladming.

This is based on a post from the women’s thread but applies to today’s Super G. In case anyone from NBC or Olympic channel reads this forum, there is no way to thank you enough for including the option to watch the raw feed with no commentary in Snow Pass, even if it’s just a coincidence. For me anyway it’s a really neat thing to be able to watch the race with the ambient sound and having that option is 200% cool.

Looks like there’s going to be a little partying in Kitz tonight

@Swede it already started Ambulances are already in full working mode on their standard Saturday's route finish area-hospital for stomach pumping

Kitzbühel DH--Mayer wins, then Kriechmay tied with Feuz in second; Steve Nyman got 13th, Jared Goldberg 23rd, Travis Ganong 30th: https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/results.html?sectorcode=AL&raceid=100141

With these results, Kilde moves to the top of the Overall World Cup standings, just over Mayer and then Kristoffersen.

Winning run:

Really nice for Mattias M stepping up on the top level at home turf. I don’t generally root for Austrians, but he’s just an athlete that I admire and seem like a super nice guy from a distance (I have never met him). Totally fair.

 

[James]

Mayer was supposed to win the SG..

SG
Mayer
Kilde
Dressen
DH-
Kriechmayer
Feuz
Janka

How about the old guy Clarey being 4th and 0.27 out?
It’s a tight race.

 

[Swede]

I bet Mattias M gladly would trade 10 SG wins against one DH in Kitz. But yes, beforehand SG seemed more likely. He has gradually looked better and better. On ... Fantastic allround skier.

Totally agree, it’s great to have options. We tried to watch the Super G with commentary, out of curiosity, and their sound levels were so mismatched as to make it unlistenable. We hightailed it to the feed.

So @James, are you sure Clary didn't finish 3rd?

Well my position is he finished third!
Another guy I was going to pick to podium, but figured nah too old.
Afaik, he still holds the speed record for the Lauberhorn at Wengen. 100mph.

 

[Eric267]

Respectable 8th for the big man from Squaw. Staying pretty consistent after his 7th last week. Hopefully this is the season he gets up on the podium after some close calls last year in the 4th spot.
