She can still get a bronze, I think. It's all in her head. Don't lose hope, my friend.

bronze ? maybe in slalom, that is for sure our only hope here.

No way. 2 seconds is too much. The snow just does not suit her, exactly like in PyeongChang.

 

Sad, but what we can do. I was afraid we will never win an alpine skiing medal and sadly it looks I was correct.

I don't agree. She's less than a second behind Meta who is 4th. Truppe has never finished above 8th in the world cup. If she has a perfect run Petra can still get a medal. Maybe not gold, but a medal for sure. When she's on top there's nobody better than her.

C'mon, if out of form Polish ski jumpers can win a medal here then I can't see why Vlhova couldn't either

just rewatch her first run again and you will find the answer yourself

not on this snow. this is exactly the same what happened in PyeongChang. Exactly the same, she just can not find her rhythm on this snow.

Everyone kinda suspected this will be a more icy course with the negative temperatures & artificial snow? I mean those top athletes & their camps should have anyway?

The results on this slope are very unusual ..... I can't help myself but the course looks stable, still in a good condition after 25 ladies but yet I see no matter how well you ski with higher number, it somehow does not let you in top positions ..... Of course O'Brien was an exception ..... Anyways,pity for Michaela and I truly hope with fire rocket in Petra's ass in the second run 😅😅

My bets for 2nd run now - 1. Hector 2. Brignone 3... well, my heart goes for Maryna ofc but if it can't happen I still think Vlhova after miracle run or Worley

Polish ES commentator Marcin Szafranski says the course looks exciting and yeah, all the ice means it kinda holds up pretty well too. Obviously this is still a new course for everyone so we can't call it "short & boring" and it has caught out some names alright.

Oh please what is this moping around? She had two big mistakes in the 1st run, but she’s still clearly in contention for the medal here and a gold medal favorite in slalom.

A) No she is clearly not and B) yes on paper one of the two top favs.
