^^ Edit, 16th. He was 29th after first run so he started second run with a fresh course, but still hugely impressive time considering the field.
In normal world cup only the top 30 ski the second run (since outside that is near zero chance of meaningful finish), but in olympics every skis both runs, in this race there were 104 racers including dudes from India posting +30sec finishes on first run, kind of funny, but they were pumped to be there. Personally I think it makes more sense to have a FIS points requriement and let 5 people from the top countries compete instead of randoms who have no business being there.
And that stat I believe was for men's alpine events? I didn't look it up, just what Stemle and Dobson said on TV.
