Live timing gets stuck with Alice Robinson of NZL in first place and leader Hrovat on her way between the last intermediate and the finish, come on :lol:

and she won a less-than-a-minute-run GS with more than a second margin over the Swiss Camille Rast...:yikes:

she and the Slovenian were actually a class apart (but unfortunately for herself, Hrovat DNF)...

Winning at junior worlds doesnt have to mean much for future success at senior level, but someone doing it while being 3 years younger than most of the competition is almost a safe sign that we are looking at a cant miss level of talent. Dvornik was also born in 2001, she seems to be a very good talent too. Disappointed by the whole italian team, Honkanen, Danioth and Hirtl-Stanggassinger.

Not true according to FIS live timing ...

There it says that Jessica Anderson from GB won with a margin of 40,74 seconds ahead of Robinson, the only thing suspicious here is that apparently she only needed 14,75 seconds to finish the second run ... :mumble:

Well, having seen Robinson in Maribor and Are I'd say she has a shot to establish herself as Top 30 skier on World Cup ;)  Which is her preferred event?

 

I'm old enough to have seen Zali Steggall & Claudia Riegler and hell, even Annelise Coberger :p so maybe I'll cheer for this kid?

Congrats to Hrovat! She isn't a generational talent, but she certainly has the potential to be a regular on the (giant) slalom podium in a couple of years. Sadly for her both Vlhova and Shiffrin are still young + Bassino, Holdener, Meillard and the austrian girls are all still pretty young. Overall slovenia is doing an amazing job in recent years, they might very well be a top 5 nation in a couple of years, especially if Vlhova keeps progressing at the same rate.

Nullmeyer's development has been a bit disappointing, 2 years ago she won bronze but seems to have stagnated after that.

 

On the men's side Rösti improved from his bronze medal last year, but for me the bigger story is McGrath from Norway. Being 2 years younger than the competition should be a huge disadvantage in the downhill, so he must be a huge talent to still fight for the medals already.
