Just a touch of intel. Heard that HK is in a rage, or wasThe team of one is not likely doing too well.
Easier to send it with abandon in the second when you have a first run that puts you one ahead of Alex Leever. Tied at 24th, 2.60 back.
Nothing to “preserve” there.
He was third in run two. Pintu and Schwarz beat him. He started 5-6th on a clean course. And was skiing like he was furious....Pintu was skiing to pile up WC points, started 19th, and beat HK by almost a half second in that run. Pretty revealing to me.
Yeah, probably NOT a good night in their camp.
Two GS left before WCF’s, not counting FISWC’s in Cortina {which are not World Cup races} and then WC Finals. Bansko, and KG. Three SL. Two coming up in Chamonix, one in March in KG, then WCF’s.
Not thinking that HK will be fixed by Saturday and Sunday in France. All in on Pintu and Noel! I’m sure that HK will be on yet another all new set up on Saturday, and perhaps another one on Sunday.
HK might as well write this season off, IMO.
not going to well, other than the win at Madonna. I think the fact that his GF and dog are not on the road with him is of no help to him.
And rumor is he is blaming everybody else for this season.
Cruel sport at times. Not a fa
Nice to see Team Leever score. Third WC start, first points. He’s an independent, not making USST criteria.
My favorite US SL skier, AJ Ginnis, skiing for Greece was one of 25 to go out first run. AJ is one to watch. He is strong and has jets. Idiotic of the team not to make him a discretionary pick. He’ll make them look like fools before too long, particulary if Greece funds his former USST WC SL coach to join him.
The USST nearly ruined him when he was on the WC, so young. Idiots.
USST has some SL talent. Of course they have wasted and alienated so many over the past 10 years. Hopefully things will improve. Not a bright spot right now. Good young guys who need some more help, IMO.
So happy for Alex!
