 Poster: A snowHead
|
2nd fastest run in the 2nd leg of the Madonna di Campiglio WC slalom (that stade is awesomely steep!), taking 16th place overall. Currently 21st overall position in the WC slalom standings, equal with Benni Raich. Sweet start to the season

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

Great work indeed. Here's a thought, how come he only moved up one place in the start order after being seventeenth in Are, Sweden the week before? Doesn't seem fair to me....

jcjc - The start order - outside of the top 30 - is determined by the racer's seed points. The higher the points the later the start position. And the rankings list used for the draw don't change after every race, but only about every 3 weeks.
Dave's FIS points are 8.00 (43rd in the World as at the Åre race). In Åre Dave scored 14.35 - so not low enough to change that ranking. And in Madonna 15.32.

Okanagan, The start order isn't just done on FIS points, the WC Start List is separate and people can get moved around if they have over 500 points and for a few other reasons, I'm fairly sure jcjc knows this.
You can see some of this on page 4 of the full results from Madonna.

@Okanagan, @sarah, @rjs, @Rob@rar, Great thread here and @rjs yes well sort of, I do know how it works. I'm just not convinced about it's effectiveness/fairness. Doesn't seem right to me that someone can fight their way into the top ranks on a Sunday and have (virtually) no recognition of that effort and achievement the following weekend when they are called back into the arena....

Although like many others Dave didn't finish the second Slalom run at Kitz he put in a very good first run. The German commentators were really impressed that someone who started off skiing on a dry slope could eventually compete with the best in the world.
