It's the same for any skier not from or near to Europe. Mikaela Shiffrin has done okay despite doing most of her skiing across the ocean. And in the end, they all spend a lot of time away from home, living in hotels, traveling constantly. Big cheers for Alice, though. An excellent skier and seems like a fine person, and it's great for her country to have someone at her level succeeding in a sport not much associated with NZ.
@@mccju786 Yes, the States are closer, but it's far from close. From Shiffrin's home state it's an 11-hour flight to Europe. It's about double from NZ. The point is that they are all far from home. One day of flying and they are there and it's not like they are flying back and forth all the time. Mostly they stay in Europe for most of the season, so it's mostly the same thing for any non-European skier - they all live out of suitcases and don't get home much during the season. I doubt it is much harder for Alice than for skiers from other non-European parts of the world.
@@francesw.6774 NZ is much much further. One long haul is easy, two long hauls consecutively is hard, and that's each way. You are also need to consider that Alice has no WC team mates from NZ. There is noone else from NZ that is on her level and likely won't be for her entire career. There is a reasonably good sizes team from the states, and that really helps with being away from home. There is no comparison
@ Well, in my opinion there are considerable comparisons between all of the skiers because, as I've said, they all spend much of the season living out of suitcases and away from home, especially the non-European skiers. That first trip to Europe can't make much of a difference once they are there, because they generally just stay in Europe for much of the season. Though it wasn't brought up in the original post, you do make an interesting point about Alice's lack of teammates from her own country. While I think most top skiers mostly train on their own with their own trainers and so forth, there probably are some advantages to having countrymen teammates, at least for moral support, so that does leave Alice with a unique situation. Hopefully she has made friends on the tour and has plenty of company and support with her own people and amongst the other skiers.
Robinson very very good!
Wow, well done Alice! All Kiwis are with you!
Robinson has a harder job as she is absolutely the furthest from home, family, and a cheering home crowd. Good on Alice.

@@francesw.6774nz is so far from Europe. The states not so much

Right over those skis and pushing back hard into the hill like a true champion. Best of luck in the World Cup Alice Robinson!
Well done alice great 2 runs keep doing it and everyone in such a tough excellant sport, from munchen germany mia san mia .
GO ALICE!
That black slope is great fun to ride there 😊
👏👏👏
Nothing against Head, Rossi, and Atomic, but its nice to see a different brand take a win.
Can you please stop naming the winner/results in the video title. Totally ruins it for those not able to watch it live.
From 8 euro into 7 euro at the sports bookmakers overnight before the race . Best backed skier easily .
where is Mikaela?
She was injured when races were in. USA (Kilington?) about a month ago😢
