Good that she'll actually have a last race announced, instead of having a race and then saying "ok this was the last one"

yes, well, her plan was to finish in beauty at the Olympics, but as you know our team really struggled in Korea, so this is a better idea IMO to say the "Good-bye" in a special last world cup race.

 

btw she will have one more farewell party later in Slovakia the 7th April in Jasná, Her team organized a special shortened parallel slalom where she invited all her friends and important persons in her private and sporting life (Petra Vlhová already announced that she will participate too) and Veronika will ski one run with them all. more here in SVK https://www.jasna.sk/ru/zanjatija/iventy/go-zuzu-v-jasnej/

Great that Mowinckel got her first victory. It really was about time. 

Meanwhile Shiffrin secured her overall world cup victory, not that anyone else really had a realistic chance before today anyway.

She did? Didn't hear one single mention about that on TV  (Dutch Eurosport in the morning, German TV in the afternoon)
