Happy for Ester

 

Sad for Petra, one of her goals was the small globe in AC, now she is at 0 points after 2/3 events lol, just like in Altenmarkt when she crashed in the super-G when leading at interediate, today it was even more painful...but, well, that´s still only a sport, the most important races will just come, at the rate she is starting to improve across all disciplines the whole country is already looking forward for Beijing, some real history can be written there for our sport in some 24 months

No bitching about the slalom course from Livio Magoni today?

That's why I wrote "season" instead of "time"

Decent result for Nevena, could've been better tho.

Well, her slalom skills are getting worse and worse. She was almost 1.5 s slower than Ledecka. She should have been placed in top 10 but blew it. 

14th place isnt something special concidering that Birkner finished 22nd with over 10s behind.

No.

 

The course was fine, I would say excellent for an Alpine Combined.

 

The DNF was her own mistake, just like Swenn-Larsson last Sunday, things happens in sport

That's a damn shame, it would have been way better to move it - but obviously I understand it's not that easy, at all.

Well, he also stated in the interview that they work on a plan B and C, in case the situation gets worse in the area.

The Ofterschwang women's giant slalom and slalom of next week have been cancelled due to the weather conditions.

I suppose this means Shiffrin won't return to action this season. With the coronavirus running wild in Italy I won't be surpirised if some home cooking allows Brignone to sit on the overall lead all the way through. Losing the Ofterschwang slalom hurts Vlhova's chances a lot.
