Good start to the season for  women. Sweeney almost got the win today with a track record in the second run.

No, basic ES TV it is included in maybe every standard satellite & cable  tv package deals, but the full Discovery Plus must be paid for 

The other news from today is that we have our first X of the season.  Races in Mont Tremblant next week have been cancelled. Imagine  Canada being the place where there is no snow..  FIS are now scrambling to find a next host for next week.

You really want to have a team mate like him   Martin Pospíšil proved again he is an absolute trooper. 2 times venged his teamates last night ! You do not see this often.    

Italian television is showing live pictures as Shiffrin is taken away in the toboggan. It looks serious

Yes, that was a bit shocking.

A chaotic race, with a lot of falls and mishaps between runs 1 and 2, has a cruel end, as Shiffrin falls as well.  Hector made a fantastic second run and i actually didn't think Shiffrin would have beaten it. Looked like an unpleasant fall too, so let's see if she will be ok for tomorrow. 

Eurosport 1 and 2 are included in every basic cable plan here. Those are between 7-10 Euro a month. If you want the additional paid sporting channels, that show the football leagues, F1, Moto GP, NBA, NHL, NFL, tennis etc. those are another 10-12 euros. So you can get everything for about 20 euros.

Quite silent the crowd in Killington
