Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Hirscher Straddle?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Looks like Marcel Hirscher straddled first gate of second run at the Schladming Night Slalom last tuesday yet carried on to take 2nd place. Course marshals missed it and strangely so did Marcel - but he has form, not the first time he has been accused of this.

Vid is here: http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/video/hirscher-centre-gate-straddling-controversy-213045761.html - unfortunately you have to wait for a full ad to play first and you'll need to watch it a few times to see what I think is an obvious straddle (with the benefit of a slo mo), but what do you reckon?

There is a good article on this by Racer-Ready which shows that it was OK and not a straddle - see:

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Yep have seen footage from a different camera (will see if I can find it again) which clearly shows it as clean, hopefully the gate judge was best placed to see it unlike any of the various TV cameras.

I thought several missed gates watching real time. Glad I'm not the only one.

No straddle.
Look at the red at the bottom of the gate, you can quite clearly see his ski in front of it.

also,this
" Furthermore, with critical points on the line for the slalom globe, any other nation suspecting that Hirscher had straddled would have been quick to throw down the necessary 100 Swiss Francs to file a protest for further review before the results were finalized."

Bode Swiller, if Hirscher has deliberately cheated, as your post insinuates, he would be facing a pretty big fine too for skiing on.
