Slalom/technical specialists unite again in the fight for the medals  

 

Shiffrin vs Gisin vs Vlhova

Pinturault vs Schwarz vs Meillard vs Ärni

 

I'm going for Gisin and Schwarz, for what it's worth

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.

3/4 seconds on 2-run/50 secs slaloms (not mentioning the start bib, normally very low for the top skiers, #31 and above for Brignone)...

in combined events it's a bit different...1 single very short and easy slalom run with Brignone starting with no.1...there's no way she loses more than a second even from the top specialists unless she straddles or make any big mistake...

imho today she's gonna end up 4th, maybe 5th (unless big mistakes happen), but still ahead of Holdener...

If the slalom course is flat like they said I give more chances to Vlhova & Shiffrin tbh

The course is a little bit tricky regarding to German tv.

Brignone

2 gates and she is  out.

Epic choke from Brignone... the delay didn't help of what?

Shiffrin massive lead.

Shiffrin not Full Risks, interesting.
