Alpine Skiing FIS World Championships 2021

[Shiffrin 33]

Ah well, shame for those 0.02, but she looked too passive on the 2nd run today, like she has looked often in GS this season. 

Hopefully she continues the slalom trend though

 

And shame for Alice, 4th today, but what a step up from the races in WC this season, hope that means she’s back to form!

 

Lara looked hopeless in GS for last couple of years (and not just GS), so it’s great she’s getting things back on track considering what a talent she is.

6th place official ties the second-best ever finish for a woman at alpine skiing World Championships.

 

We have a grand total of SEVEN Top 8 finishes for women in history (and two in the last two days).

 

4th place - Dorota Tlałka (1982 slalom)

6th place - Dorota Tlałka (1985 slalom) & Maryna Gąsienica-Daniel (2021 giant slalom)

7th place - Małgorzata Tlałka (1985 slalom)

8th place - Zofia Stopkówna (1939 slalom & combined) & Maryna Gąsienica-Daniel (2021 parallel slalom)

 

The Tlałka sisters had four more Top 8s in 1987 & 1989 WCh but they competed for France already.

so basically the best today was O Brien ?

Liensberger maybe. Almost went to sleep there on the snow.

Another disastrous WCh edition for Italy after loads of World Cup wins and podiums, year after year nothing changes.

It's probably better to cut funding for all of these athletes unless they bring home medals and start redeveloping an advanced vitaminic program.

Not even Livio Magoni's gate pattern could help Vlhova here.

 

Does anyone have more DNFs on the tour than Meta Hrovat?

Alex Tilley ? But not today.

Wow, the Lithuanian guy with Bib 40 has some excellent form. Watch out for him making the Top 30 in the first run.
