Would be good year to get out.
WC’s, speed races in Aspen, Streif podium.
Happy for him.
My girls were excited to see the result

How many things did HK break after the first run?

How many things did HK break after the first run?

HK will break even more if he lays an egg on Tuesday - or gets hit with a snowball.
He does well in Schladming (as does Yule), so I expect that to continue.

That 2nd run for Yule was sweet! Peacock coverage showed a bunch of his skiing in slo-mo at the end of the broadcast, great to watch! Ryding’s 2nd was great as well!!
Always & added plus to have Ed Drake as commentator.

Great overall courses & conditions this weekend for both men & women!

Swiss Ski announced that Odermatt will decide shortly before Schladming, if he will start in Schladming. Previously they reported that he had a blow to the left knee (Schlag im linken Knie), which of course is not a medical term. They quoted him saying,

' Ich bin froh, dass ich nicht im Netz gelandet bin. Jetzt muss ich aber zuerst mein Knie etwas schonen und schaue Tag für Tag weiter. '

' I'm glad that I didn't land in the fencing. But now I have first have to take care of my knee, and see day by day how it goes. '

There is further chatter, but I say, let the guy care for himself and come back to us once he's ready to say something, and-or race some GS

I know, but ... history

 

[Moose32]

The pitch on the Planai is made for HK.
He gets fired up and feeds off the crowd. Snowballs and all.

 

[James]

He’s a sure thing!
However, there may be a few pieces of ice in the wrong spot.

 

[Ivan]

Great first run by the top-3 (HK, Feller, Meillard). On the other hand, Pinturault, who is 4.04 seconds off the pace, has just been bumped to the 31st and hasn't made it to the second run. He didn't make any obvious mistakes, but looked very, very slow overall.

 

[James]

Zenhausern in 5th! 0.66 off.
So much for my Yule Pick.

 

[Tony Storaro]

Super happy for Zenhauesern! The dude basically skis ski as long as his legs and still not half bad at racing.

 

[Ivan]

Finally a win for Noel. He really, really needed this one. Hopefully he will be back on the right track now.

 

[James]

Wow, what happened to HK? +2:10 for run 2.
Noel and Zenhausern both needed a podium.

Fastest 2nd run was 19th first run. Course deterioration ?

 

[slow-line-fast]

Wow, what happened to HK? +2:10 for run 2.

He rebounded wide and got way late. Pulled it out because HK, no way to make up the lost time.
