Wow! This is hard to believe.

Which, if they are not specifically speaking about women's GS is factually not true. Amazing how paid journalist often don't do their research.

That second run from Marco Odermatt was something else. Attacking full gas from the start to the finish, there were several instances where he no could, but should have wiped out. He carried way to much speed in so corners making him lift off into the air. Watching him today you can clearly see he is a level above everyone else in giant slalom this year. 

 

Also the fans were amazing. At times it felt like you were watching a football derby, especially when she Swiss were racing and getting the lead. For me this is the best race this season so far.

Been in Adelboden ten years or so ago for the giant slalom and slalom and yes, the atmosphere is like nothing else. Absolutely fantastic, and everyone gets cheered on hard by the fans :cheer:
