Goggia is 100% the biggest disappointment of these World Championships.

With this field and this DH, i doubt it.

I think if she were to really challenge for a medal here, she'd need to have a bit more than a 2nd + 5th in one weekend two years ago and an 8th + 9th a month later in another weekend, and that's it

 

The field is small, but not because half the top of the world isn't there or something. And it would need to be way more technical for her anyway, as we saw in the super-G: one of the slowest of the entire field in the top part, but an absolute bullet in the technical bottom part.

Among the women, so far, maybe. Odermatt certainly would have thought he'd have at least a medal out of the first two events.

Bassino would be way too slow in the first half of the track to contend for a medal. The turns in the bottom half are not difficult enough for her to make up for that.

 

Her only DH podium was in Bansko, which is an insanely technical course and had very difficult icy conditions that year.

Johnson down...and she wasn't that bad until then...

Odermatt was supposed to get a medal in the SG, but he still has two events, including the GS which is his best. Goggia's WChs are over.

[phelps 7,862]

and Curtoni underperforming big time, once again...

[Monzanator 4,611]

Gut-Behrami miles off the pace.

 

But Stuhec SHOULD challenge for gold?

[phelps 7,862]

Gut gone...

 

by the way, I think the early numbers did the damage today...

 

something has changed, there's no way all the late starters are losing so much in the top part of the track...
