Let's try to sum up two weeks on the Olympic lived together on these pages ..
A succession of votes in 360-degree blue stars World Cup, including disappointments and surprises, including medals and achievements that have already faded in the history of the sport.
The Italians ...
Blardone: 6
made us dream, at least for a while '. Ends as in Turin, and the last Olympic find everything slips away. Sorry, because it was the proper consecration of a great career.
Fill: 6
One race in the Olympic season before the appointment is not enough to be competitive. Yet he has tried, and this must be said: the Super-G could bang out in super attacks and ends. Gritty. And unlucky.
Heel: 7.5
unrecognizable downhill and ends up in the dock. Super-G turns and pulls out a true champion's performance. The coin vanishes for only two cents, but the good rating is deserved. To the misfortune, for the reaction.
Innerhofer: 8
Vintage cursed when nothing went your way. The Federation sends the Red Sea to clear the mind by the recent find some ghosts and 'serenity. He thanked and answered present: downhill is fantastic for more than half the race before collapsing physically, Super-G is the sixth in just eight cents from the podium in super close eighth. A sample that is coming back. Chapeau.
Moelgg: 6
Practically received in a super combined, which would also have been able to avoid static and unrecognizable giant. In slalom attitude change, react, attack, and to play a medal until almost the end. The gold of the dark flare, but a seventh place is still decent.
Paris: 7
In super is certainly more than a 13th place, and the final result is not that much. Yet that provisional second place after the first run we had almost made hope ... Of course a place in the quartet in blue could also find him down.
Razzoli: 10
Needless to write comments. Just look at the medals, the voice Italy / Gold .
Simoncelli and Ploner: 5
After a great season it was reasonable to expect a good result. That has not arrived.
Staudacher: 6.5
performance along the lines of his companions. Practically not reached down, found in Super G, and separated by only nine cents per coin.
Thaler and Deville: 5.5
few pretensions. They attack both from the beginning and end off shortly after. Right approach, at least we tried.
.. and other actors.
Cuche: 5
absolute domination of the speed of the World Cup, can not digest Canadian track and snow. Sixth in descent, tenth in Super G, giant into even worse. Miss the last train for the Olympic gold but does not give the usual show the parterres. Real sample.
Defago: 8
In a subdued season and no wins, places the paw of life in a good day. Third success in career downhill after Wengen and Kitzbühel. Quality in power.
Herbst: 4
The single match can be wrong, of course, the fact is that he seems to surrender immediately. E 'slalom strongest of the moment, but in Vancouver has not proved reliable.
Hischer: 6
was one of the most anticipated, and indeed in the collision it is invoked. Fifth in the slalom and fourth in giant slalom for just five cents. Olympic opportunities for revenge they will still have several. Unlucky.
Janka: 9 Male
downhill, lily-Super-G, super combined, but still wakes up in a 2 / 10 from the coin. Last chance in giant gold. Twenty-three years and a handful of Olympic horizon. Pure talent.
Kostelic: 8
resolutely aimed at the super silver. Point to the slalom silver. Just because Miller and Razzoli have done miracles. He had done his. And even more.
Ligety: 5
was the big favorite in the giant, but does not go beyond a dismal ninth place. It could be a dangerous outsider in slalom, but leaves almost immediately. Was to confirm the gold medal in super combined, but had to settle for fifth place. Evanescent.
Miller: 10 e lode
Gold, silver and bronze. And to think that someone gave it to finish .. One of the most beautiful of all the games. Poetry.
Osborne-Paradise: 5
was the great challenge Canadian disappoint most of his companions. Badly downhill, out in the Superga. And dreams of glory remain so.
Raich: 4.5
constant but not acute, the leitmotif is repeated vacation in Canada. In World Cup may well be enough to win the Coppone, Olympic Games there is little or nothing. Sixth in super combined, sixth in giant slalom fourth in just five hundredths from the podium. Placed undertone.
Svindal: 10
Men cover along with Bode. Three medals hung around his neck, one for each metal, without the two forks would be super (maybe) four. It looked like a season on the sly. Seemed.
Walchhofer: 5
How Cuche, if not worse. Unrecognizable downhill, Super-G disappeared. Not making the Olympic final opportunity to crown a magnificent career.
