no 6th win in a row for Sofia in Lake Louise, Vonn's record (7) is safe...

 

too many mistakes in the top section for her, today...still, a rocket down the last part of the slope, but not enough even for a podium place.

 

no comment on the Italian men's team...I think we're hitting an all-time low which will be really difficult to come out from. :facepalm: :cry:

After Aicher missed the second run of all three slaloms so far, i thought that german coaches "destroyed" her, but now it all makes sense. Obviously they try to turn her into a second Rebensburg. Not sure if i like this strategy (given that the speed events are more competitive and injury prone and that Aicher seemed more like a natural slalom/giant slalom talent), but in the end athletes like Gut/Weirather/Rebensburg/Fenninger can win medals in three different events (super g, downhill, giant slalom), while athletes like Hector/Vlhova/Holdener can win medals in only two different events (slalom, giant slalom). I had the hope that she could be competitive in all four events, but i guess the german coaches gave up on that idea. I am interested what she can do in her first giant slalom this season. If she doesn't have the level to compete for the top 20, then the decision to shift away from slalom will look like a mistake, at least short term.

:ALB Lara Colturi will score her maiden WC points ;)

I think she had the 4th fastest second run, only 0.03 seconds behind 3rd. If she has a natural progression for a girl her age and becomes more stable, then she might make the podium at some point this season.

Petra was expected to show her rage-mode after the two "potato medals" from America.

 

People here were interested to see how she will perform already in Sestriere today GS,

 

Good news: she started with a solid 1st run

Bad news: There still a 2nd run though

 

for now it´s a James Bond story, Petra leading by 007 over local hero Bassino

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway
