Anyone knows why Manu Feller didn't start in Kitz slalom on Saturday? 

Covid positive

Btw, Breezy Johnson is seemingly also nursing some injury. She missed both Zauchensee & Cortina and Shiffrin posted a cryptic message on IG whether she will make it on time too. It looks like another completely random DH gold medallist coming up unless Corinne Suter somehow picks up some heat?

Breezy Johnson was in Cortina but crashed in the 2nd training Friday

on that slope, if they set the course pretty straight, without any tricky turn, the gold medal imho is already at Kira Weidle's neck...

 

if they set it up like bastards, well, that might get really a mess...

A bit disappointing at the end must admit, considering the 1st round, but yeah, another podium in GS, so still fantastic result.

 

The most important was for Petra to feel that she is able to compete against the best also in Giant Slalom.  She spend the whole last week to train GS with the only goal to get that confidence in GS. Now she confirmed to our TV that she will return to training Slalom in another Italian resort and then her whole team will (hopefully healthy) fly to Beijing the January 31st.

 

hard to even explain the pressure the girl have to handle from the whole country. I really hope she will achieve what she want and will return from Beijing happy and satisfied   If you tune on the TV in Slovakia, you can be sure you will see her, in advertisements, several TV shots, news, just everywhere the whole day...

Just the fact that her races have more TV viewers than hockey games already speak by itself about her popularity in the country

Jakobsen

 

Bet he will DNF in the second run.

[dcro 10,211]

Yeah, we are always bad in Schladming, but this was something else.

 

Should be the definite proof that Zubčić is not a medal material this season. Bet he regrets putting more focus on slalom.

Well, Rodes 3 seconds off the pace (probably doesn't care anymore) and Vidovic lasted like 10 gates. It seems like is crawling towards the Olympics

Add Kolega to that list too. Like I said, we are always awful in Schladming, especially when it is this icy. Probably the technicians are not fully understanding it either.
