Shiffrin makes a mistake in 2nd run but Vlhova makes even a bigger mistake and Shiffrin wins.

Mikaela with another WR, beating Stenmark amount of wins in one discipline. And achieving it at home, that is something really huge, well done.

 

Petra 4th race of the season and 4th podium. I really really hope she will win a medal in Beijing. That would be very frustrating and disastrous if SVK will again finish medalless in Alpine Skiing after all the bad luck Veronika Zuzulová had and Petra total failure in PyeongChang.

 

Wendy Holdener. Man, what a warrior is this chick ! even with her obvious handicap with both hands she can ski so well and so fast is really beyond me

I assume Liensberger will hit peak come Beijing. Pretty much four names for three medals in slalom but Shiffrin & Vlhova still have a clear step on the rest. Of course the OG unknown course can favor someone out of nowhere but I don't see it. And Holdener is the most vulnerable mentally as usual.

Good podium, but surprised that Duerr’s podiums in Levi turn out not to be an anomaly. The top7 for slalom seem so convincing with taking the high places that I wonder which skier will manage to do a Gallhuber in Beijing and get a medal.

 

Not sure why they can’t do the GS in Killington tomorrow, they should’ve just postponed it on Saturday, but they clearly wanted to smash their head through the wall in those disastrous conditions.

Because the athletes are tomorrow already traveling to Lake Louise. First DH Training should be already on Tuesday.

+ It is without debate our only and sole medal chance in Beijing. The pressure of he whole nation on her will be enormous. I really hope she will return home with at least one medal.

I assume the combined will be a sure thing given how easy the slalom will be? Gisin, Shiffrin & Vlhova should walk away with the medals there.
