 Vonn still owns the gliding & speed courses 

Wow.  That would be an incredible story if she can grab a medal in February.  Can only imagine how much NBC is excited over the prospect of having her in contention.

Brignone is the oldest female World Cup winner at 34 years & 8 months (La Thuile Super G last season) so Vonn will beat that record by 6 years & 6 months 

 

Magdalena Egger goes 2nd out of nowhere...

Just means Brigone will win gold at Utah 2034.

Late change to the Olympic schedules - Womens' Downhill will now be a floodlit race starting at 22:00 CET 17:00 Eastern.

I know you're joking, but that wouldn't even work because that day is the Super Bowl.  So NBC will only have coverage on the broadcast network until Noon ET and then will have a shortened primetime show and late night after the game.  Which means they'll have to condense Vonn in the downhill and the final day of the team figure skating event into that brodacast

Goggia hasn't been herself in the downhill for four years and her losses on the flat splits are enormous. Nothing has changed in another season. Now Vonn has also arrived, in great form... Brignone was probably Italy's best chance for gold in the giant slalom, but because of that damn injury, it's unclear whether she'll even start. In the giant slalom Brignone in last year's form, was much better than Robinson or Scheib, while Vonn and Schiffrin dominate elsewhere. The last time Goggia was in top form was at the beginning of the 2021/2022 season, before her crash in Cortina. In that time, she excelled on every track and split and now she's almost 1 second behind the Austrians on the flat sections...

Vonn winning by a second doesn't speak well for the state of women's alpine skiing.

Goggia is disappointing - I was hoping he would be in great shape.
