Their national champs caused a bit of controversy last year, so he’ll have to place well if he wants the same kind of media attention  

 

 with a young skier on the start list as well. Nice to see them with another winter sport representative. 
 

 internal battle might be interesting as well. Their YOG skier and Beijing 2022 representative are both in the field.

Probably the oldest, and by far, alpine skier in the world.

 

I’m more curious about his outfit than his result, though.

 

Best of luck to Sarah Schlepper in women’s GS.

Women's GS 1st run has started. Shiffrin and Worley 0,12 apart. Hector and Vlhova miles off the pace already.

[Monzanator 5,072]

Mistake for Bassino and she's over  a second behind, Brignone goes 3rd which kinda sets up the podium challenge.

 

Maryna G-D into 6th and just under a second off Shiffrin

[Monzanator 5,072]

Valerie Grenier had a shot for 4th place but made a huge error on the bottom and lost three seconds...

[Monzanator 5,072]

First sixteen down the course. Mowinckel into 5th as the only change. Haaser & Moltzan DNF.

[phelps 8,637]

2nd run to be set by an American coach (not Shiffrin's, who's been fired and left France a couple of days ago).

 

curious to see if he/she goes for a speedy design or if he/she does set a slalom with gs gates up.

 

in the first case, most likely the 2nd run won't change the 3 girls currently on the podium (maybe Brignone can overtake Worley).

 

otherwise, it might mix things up a bit and give some girls now ranked 4th/10th a slim chance to comeback (at least for silver and bronze...gold is only Shiffrin's to lose).

Hohenlohe DNF in the 1st run
