Finish turn has a disaster accident written all over it.

 

If the men are racing the same course, it is almost a given...

Yes it is the same course. Only numbers in the super g and the slalom will have a big opportunity.

[phelps 7,801]

and remember...in the slalom race it will be from 1st in the super-G to last...

 

so, the super-G winner will have a big advantage starting 1st on an easy & flat but very icy course...

 

and we're going to have all the hype (if there's any hype for this race) gone after 5 minutes...

[Monzanator 4,610]

Shiffrin 3rd, Vlhova 7th.

I think we have to wait until number 14 Holdener, but with Shiffrin Vlhova and Gisin we have one of the TOP 5 Slalom ladies of this season at the beginning.

[phelps 7,801]

so, with all the big 3 (Shiffrin, Gisin, Vlhova) just a few hundreds behind, no chance for Brignone unless 1 of them goes out (which is highly unlikely)...

if the slalom course is what our broadcasters said, there's no chance for Holdener to make up more than half a second on the big 3 (and even 1 second on Brignone)...

You know that Vlhova, Gisin, Shiffrin and Holdener are at least 2-3 seconds faster than the best of the rest in the women’s slalom field. And Brignone is not the best of the rest so she will loose 3-4 seconds. Yes, we have only one run but it would be a big surprise if she looses less then one second to the best times in the slalom.

I am really excited to see the time differences between mens and womens on that Super-G piste, since it is the first time ever both genders will race on the same exact track.

 

Brignone time was 1:22.11

 

How many girls will beat mens ? war of sexes

[JonPhi 250]

Slalom course for women and men will not be the same!

Goldberg beaten by Brignone, Delago and Shiffrin
