It was clearly the skis that gave them the confidence to let it rip at the bottom. Heh- heh. Four Rossignol podiums in the two events. Brignone had colder faster snow, Mika was at the beach, slow at the runout.
There were only a few women within the same second. It is nice to know that Mikaela is not infallible. I hoped for more from Sara Hector and too bad Lara Gutt had to pass. Oh yeah: Petra Vlhova hopefully gets back soon; too. Where was Vonn Enterprises ?? I was sure it would be Another Odermatt Win. It goes to show how tough this sport is and Marcel can't 'make a comeback' and expect hot results right off the top. Solden a tough but repetitive; hence boring race-set without terrain features and its only claim to fame is that it is first race. Val D'Isere Rocks! ...even harder than Alta Badia ps: Find the night race from Schladming last January; talk about a piste that was made from porcelain...
For the women and Olsen you were showing run 2, so I assume that was run 2 for Hirscher as well. You were describing it as if his line was much worse than the other skiers'. If so, that shows how much potential Hirscher has since, in spite of this, his 2nd run was the third fastest in the field. Not sure if Marcel will be as competitive in slalom to start, since I've read most of his training thus far was focused on GS. Have you heard otherwise?
The vikings wanted to punish the nation traitor Braathen by denying him podium place. I think that's gunna be the norm this season. You don't deflect unpunished. This is war.
Love it SkiDad! More , more, more of this!! Yes!! great to see everything you've been talking about out there in the wild on the WC!!
As for marcel , his story is having the 3rd fastest 2nd run ! HUGH ! Can’t wait for Levi !
Great analysis ! This is so much fun to listen to.
Awesome analysis
nice work
I couldn't find the event online; hopefully Solden is posted next week. Anyone have a discord for skiing stream events? Thanks

Pls do these for all races going forward. 50/50 airtime female/male but in combined videos.
I’ll do my best

Hirscher video was run 1, on 2nd run he was much better
To bad you did not show Marcel’s and Lucas second runs.

It was a shame Zubcic crashed out as I think he would have won
Steen was so fast at the bottom, Zubcic would have needed a great run all the way to the finish
