Don't know if it will be as easy as you think. Geiger and whoever almost beat holdener in the first round (I think it was Dürr) were looking quite good. Zuzulova might not be back at her best yet, so the only run Slovakia will almost certainly win is Vlhova's. 

 

Just like Straßer, Dürr is very good in this discipline and can beat most competitors. Nonetheless, I do think that whoever will win out of Germany - Slovakia (and IMO Germany is slight favourite because of Zuzulova's injury) will lose to Switzerland in the QF.

Feuz is really impressive. 

 

Jansrud, too...he and the Swiss today looked well in front of the rest of the field...

and behind them there's a bunch of hungry wolves (Svindal, Paris, the Austrians -maybe except for Franz, who looks a bit slower than his teammates- and also a few other outsiders, like the Frenchmen and even Innerhofer, who was still in full contention until the intermediate #4, when the real effort ended -most athletes just had a touristic attitude in the last 30 seconds of the race)...

I think tomorrow it's gonna be quite an open race, with some room for huge upsets (even if at the end the winner will not be the classic one-hit wonder kind of guy)...

After tonight's training:

1) Feuz

...

2/3) Mayer, Kriechmayer, Jansrud, Svindal, Bennett.

Since there is always a complete no-name winning a medal, i would go with something like Feuz, Mayer/Jansrud, Bennett.

I somehow have a fear Feuz will fall or something. Based on nothing, I know, but I really want him to win :)

I had the same fear for Parmakoski in the last lap. :p

Well yours didn't come true, now let's hope the same goes for mine :p

Why? To me he always seems very arrogant + he doesn't look like an elite athlete, but maybe that's why you cheer for him ... ?

Roulin and Kline are tied at 21st place at DH Start List (with Baumann before them out), so they had to do a draw for every training and race, Kline got luckier for the race, even though they both got bibs pretty close to each other, so it won’t make much difference.

 

I see, 1. Jansrud 2. Kriechmayr 3. Franz
