With his 24th place finish in the men's vertical race, Jon Visser  officially registers a result in his third sport at Torino 2025. 

 

He competed in biathlon, cross country skiing and ski mountaineering. 

Not bad for a man from the Home of Flat.  

 

Good to see another big snowfall overnight, so plenty of raw material for week 2!  Always depressing when your snow gets all scabby and muddy.

Women's slalom might have been some of the best racing at these Games. Slim margins heading into the second run, and plenty of movement amongst the top ranked athletes. 

 

Piller  with the "tech" events double in the end.

Ski-o mixed relay was also quite exciting for those looking for some replay recommendations.

Solid day for  Groenland, only 1 penalty loop, and rewarded with a silver 

[Josh 13,477]

For an event of this caliber, I’m surprised with how many of the names I recognize. 

[Josh 13,477]

Oh my goodness, what a race 

 

In the end it’s:  Bernard,  Hofherr, and  Stefani with the medals in women’s ski cross.
 

And unsurprisingly,  in 4th with Joncas…
