More open than the downhill this one I think, theres a lot of guys that can go close.
Cuche, Heel, Staudacher, Ligety are who I'm looking at
Raich has a shot at a medal I guess

Wish there was more liquidity in the Top 3 market. Want to back Walchhofer but no layers to be seen.
Bode Miller must have great chance of top 3, no Jacob? He had that downhill wrapped up until he lost some speed somewhere on bottom section.
I think Bode was more fortunate that the course slowed up and allowed him to hang in there.
I wouldn't be putting money on him, he's not really been in much form this year and hasn't proved he can produce the goods on the olympic stage. Far too short for me to be interested

jacob he lost by a tiny margin - what time do they start?
In about 3 minutes
Margin....don't care....how many olympic golds does he have?

i am not backing him - but having layed him for the downhill he got too close for comfort
his time didn't count
I'm not laying Bode this time, but the course slowed up allowing him to hang in there. He's more in the mix this time, so I don't see it repeating

What is the idea of the Super G relative to the downhill?
The Super G is a bit slower with tighter corners?
The Super G is a bit slower with tighter corners?
Super G incorporates aspects of both Downhill and Giant Slalom racing. It involves skiing between widely spaced gates as in Giant Slalom, but with fewer turns over a longer course and with higher speeds approaching those achieved in Downhill. The minimum number of gates is 35 for men and 30 for women. Super G skiers will often assume the "tuck" position as in Downhill, but will continue turning constantly as in Giant Slalom, rarely encountering the periodic straight "gliding" sections of a Downhill course. Super G courses in international competition must be at least one minute in length and can be as long as one minute and 45 seconds. Speeds at the World Cup level generally average from 8896 km/h (5560 mi/h).
No, just watching it, seems a bit of a lottery this alpine skiing.
If it was to bet on anyone it would be Cuche.
Very tough course though.

Hopefully Janka will make up for the other day. Here's hoping anyway.
If Miller ends up winning this, then Weibrecht will get silver. What are the chances of that? I reckon 20-1+. And I've backed Miller btw.
hope he does five leaves - I took 10s - but I think he will be edged out by at least one or two
it was a carbon copy of Bode's downhill - flew at the top, then lost his speed in the bottom section
Margins between 1st/3rd in the mens DH and Super G are absurd.
phew.... unfortunately traded out half my position after didier failed

Top 3 Bode Miller 3.05 for me ;)
to the bank plzt!!!
yep laying bodey proved very hard work both events - bronze by a tiny margin and silver -
Much less stressful to back him and then lay.
well i given by how msall a margin he led unheralded weibrecht i thought it was an excellent lay - the top skiers svindal apart were very disappointing
Reading stuff pre-Olympics I was convinced Miller would be in mix for medals in downhill and super G for sure. In both events he has looked quickest at the top of mountain and lost his advantage lower down but he is clearly one of the form skiers at this Olympics unlike the likes of Cuche and Walchofer.
