A couple of minutes ago the 3rd group departed to Beijing.
This time including only 1 athlete (but with her entire team staff and about one ton of material. In addition to 30 pairs of skis (10 pairs of Slalom skis, 10 pairs of Giant Slalom skis and 5 pairs of Downhill skis and 5 pairs of Super-G skis) also different poles, ski boots (8 pairs, 3 of them are pairs for Slalom and 3 pairs for Giant Slalom), racing suits and olympic uniforms, there are also various waxes and other necessary things for training and competitions.
The skis are packed in special bags, they are usually packed in pairs, around 35 pieces of luggage. Also a couple of aluminium boxes where the servicemen packed their things for service. They took also tables for preparing skis and finally also a normal luggage.
Petra Vlhová and her team are right now flying to Dauha and from there to Beijing where she is expected to land Tomorrow shortly afternoon local time, early morning in Slovakia.
It will be already her 3rd Winter Olympics. This time (baring covid or injury disasters) she will compete in Slalom, Giant Slalom, Alpine Combined and Super-G.
Remember Slovakia will face France in the Team Event 1st round, and I can already hear the huge rock of relief that dropped from the fans, skiers and federation since Petra will not start in the Team Event, she will be already in the flight back to Europe (Team Event, Day 15) Her last race the Alpine Combined is Day 13.
Good Luck Petra, stay healthy and return back home after the games satisfied with your performance.
