Stjernesund getting a top-10 in her World Cup debut

 

I know, conditions and stuff, but that is really, really impressive.

Well, Eurosport commentators were talking during the first run how Norwegian skiers have to reach a really good level before they are allowed to make a WC debut. This pretty much supports that.

I think Mowinckel's otherwise unexpected success last season made the coaches a little bolder in selection. Besides the post-OG season usually throws up more new names than any other in the 4-year cycle.

 

Men's GS could be a mess based on the weather reports. It's supposed to snow all day and night in Solden and the wind could be stronger.

I understood them saying "extra ordinary" but I don't know whether they were talking about Brignone or Worley... probably the former

On RAI they were actually in awe of Worley and comparing her run to Caravaggio's works 

[Monzanator 4,604]

They probably didn't know any French painters' names then

 

Or was Caravaggio a sculptor?

At least you all get snow once in a while. It hasn’t snowed where I live in 7 years.

I've heard about Caravaggio long before wikipedia was invented   I wonder how would these modern kids learn about stuff without the luxury of internet?
