You sold it like it was 50.

 

Ever considered to be a car salesman?

Considering not long ago there was a handful, this is quite a lot

Nice winner

 

Too bad Bruna slipped away again and again (including having to go back 20 meters after going off-track) on the very, very icy snow where there was no grip whatsoever. She just suddenly realized yesterday she's qualified for the world champs though, so no pressure anymore

Ah, she gets the fabulous 140.80 points.

 

Fascinating to see a Thai with a Polish surname competing in Chile.

This should help lower FIS points for races in Brazil a little  

 

And about the Thai, I'm guessing some connection with a German, to add some more randomness

I'll ask, now I'm curious.

Looks like a Thai married to a German with a Polish name who lives in the USA...

I can now confirm the marriage part

Yay, the ice of yesterday in Chile has become....even more icy. The idea to change today's distance race to a sprint was rejected, now it's a matter of hoping everyone survives this way too dangerous course without major injuries..

Ok the difference would have been bigger if the second place finisher didn't fall in the very last downhill
