The speed speciallists stand no chance of even getting a random podium anymore. In what book is Gisin not a speed specialist? Or Brignone? Holdener and Shiffrin also have speed events podiums, so yeah, indeed it's the combiners that are getting the podium in this. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brignone is definitely not a speed specialist She's very good at it, yes, but so is Shiffrin on her day.

Monzanator 3,594 Posted March 4, 2018 #674 Share Posted March 4, 2018 The fact Shiffrin and Holdener are scoring DH & SG podums speaks about the weak level of speed events in general. Vonn is pretty much the most athletic-looking speed speciallist but even she looked a size smaller than Brydon, Merighetti and Kamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an exclusive speed specialist, but very successful in the speed events nevertheless. Edited March 4, 2018 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonn probably had to lower muscle mass due to a lot of injuries Back in the day, she used to be bulkier. Edited March 4, 2018 by Майкл Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,594 Posted March 4, 2018 #680 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Well, she was using the men's skis in training, right? I don't recall who said this about her training prgramme but it was supposedly impossible to follow for other women too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
