History

 

In 2022, Ryan Cochran-Siegle won silver in the Super-G (and he's still with the team).  We've won plenty of medals in the sport through the years (third behind Austria and Switzerland), but the 2022 total was the lowest in a while.  Back in 2010, we won 8 (the highest total for that sport that year).  We'll see how this year fares.

And another good day for the American women in Levi  for the Slalom.  Shiffrin with Gold, Moltzan in 4th.  AJ Hurt DNFed.

 

The men?  That's another story.

Got the roster updated.  Our men haven't had the best WC season, but Shiffrin and Vonn have been dominating!  Let's go ladies!

So sorry to hear about Lindsey Vonn's crash...  I hope she is okay #1, and #2 I just hate it for her, if it dampens her chances at succeeding in Milan.  She had such an amazing WC season leading up to this.  For her sake, I hope she can find a way to pull through.  Regardless, I hope she is proud of what she has already accomplished this year (not to mention everything else in her past).
