I am happy that Germany made the semifinal, but if Switzerland would have competed with their best team they probably would have won.

On paper it should be gold for Austria, silver for USA and bronze for Germany. Too bad that Dürr will race against Shiffrin, would have been better for her to face Moltzan.

out of 16 QF races. 14 of them had won by the skier on the blue course and those other 2 races finished by DNF.

 

teams should put their best skiers for the blue course. Switzerland made a big mistake here by not using Holdner first.

USA announcers say Shiffrin on red course is a strategic move.  And that she will have to go all out to win on red course.

It was USA's choice, as the higher seeded team.  Germany put up Duerr first, USA countered with Shiffrin.

And Dürr profits from blue as well

They've had better strategic moves, I guess

A double DNF...

 

Germany advances to the finals

Darn, that's disappointing.  At least they're still alive for bronze

Is it normal for one course to unwinnable on?

A course is always faster, but this is on the more extreme end of things.
