Some crazy waxing deals on the ice today, JTB was 2 mins slower than Finello? QFM barely made any time despite 20/20

I think it was more about the skis themselves than the waxing, because QFM was slow but in the same team Guigonnat had the 3rd fastest ski time. Christiansen was impressive today too and they both have the same brand (Salomon). Today if you had Fischer skis you were screwed

Women rescheduled to 14:30

Strolia was among the 10 fastest today. So much for him looking tired,lol.

Dovžan, usually one of the slowest guys on the circuit was faster than JTB

I assume there are different wax crews within the same team if different skis are used then?

You are absolutely right, Fischer skis don't work at all on ice surfaces and this is why we saw JTB struggling as much as he did, slipping so many times.

 

This is why some unusual faces had the best skiing times, they were not using Fischer skis, including Strolia that posted a top 10 ski time today out of nowhere.
