Marcin Szafranski says that Max Blardone is now Lara Gut's GS coach? How does that work? I guess Gut has a personal team rather than living off the Swiss Fed coaching tree?

 

Blardone is still Rai Sport studio expert so it's not like he will travel with Lara to any of the venues.

Probably, why not?  It only makes sense for top athletes to have their personal team that's focussed entirely on them.

Which in the end quite often doesn't really make much of a difference

Mowinckel all over the place
