Team for the WCh announced,

 

Hint for all who picked Vlhová as medallist in the Alpine Combined, Quickly, Hurry change your predictions, she will not start in the AC.

 

In fact the whole team will travel to France only for the second week and will start only in GS & SL + in the Team event (but without Vlhová) Petra will use the whole next 2 weeks to train and should arrive to the WCh right before the GS and SL.

next week is acceptable, at least we have temperatures below 0 at night (which will allow the organizers to set up the tracks well), the only problems might happen on Monday with the women's Super-G, should it rain before and during the race.

 

the following week instead might be problematic, with high temperatures (nights above 0) that might affect the setup and the overall quality of the tracks.

 

rainy days might also give the organizers some troubles, especially if it happens in the speed events' days.

@phelps and how’s Sophia Goggia feeling today? Any News on her?

[Monzanator 5,136]

Men still have the World Cup slalom in Chamonix tomorrow. I assume if the weather is good there then it's the same in Meribel/Courchevel since the distance is ca. 120 km?

however, all the team is supposed to go to France tomorrow (the first race is already on Monday, women's Super-G)...
