Rare mistake for Bassino who hooked the gate with her arm but still finished.

 

Top 10 for Maryna G-D guaranteed

[Monzanator 3,863]

Monster run from Gut-Behrami but even a better one from Shiffrin

 

Win #83 in the books.

so far, in the women's World Cup,  Italy has made the podium in 17 out of 18 races (not counting the 7 Slalom events), with a total of 19 "medals" (7 first, 6 second and 6 third places).

the only race where they missed the podium is the Super-G in Lake Louise (5th place by Goggia and 6th by Curtoni were the best results on that day) back at the beginning of December 2022.

 

meanwhile, no need to say that in 7 Slalom races,  has not made even a single Top 12 finish. 

 

someone might think that we have a little problem in Slalom.

Albert Popov with Top 15 bib number in Schladming.

 

Yule over 1 second behind Kristoffersen in the first run

Linus Strasser straddles the second gate

Mikaela taking the all time WC wins record was always expected. With the trajectory of her career, it was clear around 2018, that not only will she get the record, but pass 100 wins. We will just have to wait to see, when exactly it will happen.

And in true fashion, it will lead to a DNF  I don't want to, but i'm beginning to think, that he has reached his ceiling in the 8-16 placing. With the state of Bulgarian sport this is a very good result, but i was hoping he can eventually start fighting for podiums here and there.. 

[Monzanator 3,863]

Yeah, Popov's inconsistency seems to be his biggest problem but he can still challenge for Top 10 any time which isn't bad at all

 

Meanwhile gets both Salarich & Del Campo into 2nd run

[Grassmarket 2,995]

Always good to see  knock  off the top spot.
